[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The system is much better now. Back when it was pullout the GT teachers gatekeeped to keep their caseloads small, and they left out a lot of kids who should have been identified. My kid was overlooked. When I parent referred, they tested so high even the principal was wondering how they were missed. [/quote] Exactly. There can be a lot of reasons why a kid isn't identified. Why gate keep? That doesn't serve anyone. [/quote]If the kid needs more practice to learn grade level material perhaps they should be doing that work? If the kid can't read or do math well enough to participate in the activity without being frustrated or lost, then perhaps they should stick to grade level content? Other kids already know grade level content and are ready for more. There are kids who don't need differentiation and that's okay.[/quote]
