[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The center model has worked well for all three of my children. One has an IQ of 155, another has 132. The third has a GAI of 141, and a 504 for extreme low processing. Basically small class for testing and longer testing time.

For the 1st, MS was the first challenging environment and mainly because of self-stress. By 8th grade, DC was all As. For the 2nd, the center provides an environment where DCs perfection is rewarded. For the 3rd, the center has proven to be a great reward as DCs teachers understand 2E kids.

The GE model would have created hardship for my kids. [b]DC1 was basically an in-class tutor for k-2. [/b]Even the school said they couldn't do much for DC than they were doing. For DC 2, the lowest common denominator model used in GE was not beneficial to DCs perfectionism. As for DC3, being 2E and in an environment in which the teacher is certified in gifted education had been great!

What's wrong with that?  A big part of the younger grades is socialization and learning to get along.  Is your DC's intelligence going to drain away if she has to help others?  Could it be these children your resent your daughter had to help might have something to teach her?

And how do you know the GE model (most of us call it public school) would create hardship for your kids?  I've had kids in both and somehow they've all managed to get fine educations.  Your attitude of entitlement is a perfect example of what is wrong  with the whole AAP system.  I'm not saying that they don't deserve to be there, because they sound very smart.  I'm just saying since they're not in GE you don't know what mixing with the unwashed might have taught them.  [/quote]

Really?  You don't see anything wrong with [b]having a child not learn a thing, [/b]but instead spend his/her time helping other children?  [/quote]

Not learn a thing???  Like nails on a chalkboard.[/quote]
