Right which means he was in elementary 7 years ago, when they still did pull out. And the demographic bulge for WL is this years freshman class. [/quote]

Pull-out meant that the quality of a school's gifted services depended entirely on the quality of its resource teacher, and ours stunk.

It would have been better for my kid if she'd been better, but it was fine, thanks to his other teachers.

I get it. Everything is harder for you and your kids. But if your worry is gifted services for ES kids, your actual problems are microscopic and your attitude means everyone will be happier if you go private. So go. [/quote]

Pull out or push in, obviously the quality of the gifted program depends on the gifted teacher. Why would that not be self evident?

Pull out allowed the gifted kids to work together, form a community of kids who wanted to more more academic things, just like school sports let’s kids who want to do baseball more get together. They often got assigned longer term projects that they would present to each other, rather than only daily or weekly assignments. Push in became simply additional worksheets in class. [/quote]
