[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had gifted kids in private. Teachers were largely uninterested with them. They were busy with the kids who were struggling or average because they are assessed as teachers by the gains children make throughout the year. Since my kids are going in at the top, they won’t be making large gains. We have since moved them to public because there are far more clubs and stuff. They’re going to be bored everywhere so why not let them have fun.[/quote] Was this a challenging private school? what grade to you pull them out?[/quote] My profoundly gifted child had the exact opposite experience in private. So much of their day is spent on wonderful experiences that are valuable for all students, regardless of IQ or reading/math level. Go tour the schools. Make your own decisions based on the whole child.[/quote]
