[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My DC was truly gifted, not just advanced, but he didn't get any arrangement like OP. Teachers were saying they had never seen such a gifted kid before. Why is it so different from school to school? [/quote] I think some principals and teachers are philosophically opposed to acceleration and some embrace it. Out principal is in the "opposed" category. Just wanted to add that from my experience with my kid, there is often no way for teachers to see how advanced/gifted some of these kids are. Finish the worksheet faster? Explain a deeper understanding of 2+2? You would think MAP-P and MAP-M scores would be used for something but they are not. Maybe if the parent raises a stink... Never went that route given the atmosphere at our school.[/quote]
