[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people can relate to your post, OP, even if they haven't had their child tested as gifted. The curtain has really been pulled back this year with virtual learning, now we have hints at what goes in actual school. My conclusion is our traditional school system is to bring a cohort of children up to a [very low] minimum standard, that is testable. There are some kids on the screen I see (mostly girls) who are just kind of putting up with it or somehow find it okay, but it is absolute misery. Children are capable of so much more. I don't have a real answer for you other than we are hanging out on the waitlists of many montessori PCSs with the hope that children being able to drive their own learning a bit more has to be better than this. It'll be a drive, but anything is better than this.[/quote]
