[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing how many DCUM posters were gifted kids ... [/quote] They do nothing. My child had a complete evaluation and one of the recommendations was that they be placed in gifted classes or enrichment. Lafayette flat-out said they only focus on getting kids up to grade level and don’t do anything beyond that. They used to offer a fair amount of enrichment in reading and math but they haven’t done that for years. They used to at least do small things like change the level on required school programs like ST Math to a higher grade level for kids who could do the work but even that doesn’t happen anymore even though it does not require any additional resources. Teachers used to have more freedom to offer more challenging work to some kids but no longer do that. [/quote]
