[quote=Anonymous]OP: you should really educate yourself about what gifted is, and isn't and what works, and doesn't. And what MCPS will provide, or not. There is a reason FCPS & MCPS don't start full time gifted instruction in K or 1st. FCPS does supplementation and pullout only that early. And that's because it's hard to figure out before 3rd grade whether a kid is gifted. Early reader? Maybe gifted, maybe not. Asynchronous development? Much more likely to be gifted. Privates will have smaller classes, but will not really differentiate, and can't/don't want to deal with the asynchronous development/ 2e issues that your child could have. At a bare minimum, I read your description of your child, and see an ADHD kid. Privates also don't want to deal with that, especially when it becomes a 2e issue. You need to do some research here. It sounds counterintuitive, but MCPS may very well be in the best position to support and differentiate for your DC. [/quote]
