[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, what are parents in DCPS doing when their kids report being bored (or uninspired) by the material? I'm not just asking about gifted children. What about bright children who are reading and/or doing math several years above grade level. In other districts, they might be taken to a higher grade level for that class or might be pulled out to work with a specialist. What about DCPS? What do they do with these advanced learners? [/quote] In our DCPS school, I know of at least one child that was allowed to skip a grade because they are extremely gifted (I think the child skipped Kindergarten) and the school also has the pull outs and the Advanced LEarning classes. I really don't see why folks are so down on DCPS. I can't imagine what else our neighborhood school can do for kids. I realize the previous post asking for the actual difference between VA and private "gifted" programs and DCPS was ridiculed, but . . . I think it was apt.[/quote]
