[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I was GT at a Catholic school as a kid and they obviously didn't have the resources to pull me out for special instruction for reading. As background: I was head and shoulders above my peers and the school urged my parents to have me skip a grade (they opted not to since I was the youngest in my class). For reading, I sometimes read with the highest reading group, but most of the time I was given different books and different assignments --- but the assignments were more open-ended (ie: not a lot of thought put into them on the teacher's part --- usually something like draft a summary and then one or two creative writing type questions). I worked solo as reading groups were going on around me. Not a big deal --- I turned out okay. Your GT kid will be fine. I think there's a great deal to be said about learning how to work independently (that's what you need to do once you hit HS, college and grad school -- there's no hand-holding).[/quote]
