[quote=Anonymous]I'm curious as to which private 17;14 is using. My understanding is that most don't "get" gifted and prefer their classes to be fairly homogenous in abilities. FWIW, DC's PK teacher told us he was one of the smartest kids she'd seen in more than twenty years of teaching (sure enough he ended up testing in the high 130s on the WISC, though it sounds like OP's son is more profoundly gifted). She didn't suggest private. DC's K-3 years were mediocre at best - fairly good socially, but he was bored and the most teachers didn't get him. The upper graders were better because there were more opportunities for independent work, though still not optimal. This was at a highly regarded public that doesn't have G&T, though I've heard very mixed things about quality of AYP, I'm not sure what the solution is for these kids other than to muddle through.[/quote]
