[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]interesting thread. my husband and I both were in gifted programs as children and had IQs tested at around 145 (for me) and 150 (for him). we are wondering what to do with our kids... currently in DCPS schools where they are actually thriving -- they are very self-motivated -- but there are no gifted programs. how important is it for them to be in an actual gifted program?[/quote] I would think gifted parents of gifted kids probably end up building in an enriched "curriculum" for their children just by living in DC and being naturally interested in learning. I personally wouldn't stress about it unless your child is seeming bored and therefore restless in their regular classes. I also know a family with gifted parents who was surprised when they had DD tested (who wasn't thriving) and her score on IQ tests suggested average intelligence. It wasn't a shock or a disappointment. I think it's easy to project our experience onto our kids. [/quote]
