[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"In all the years we have spent at Deal we have found very few troublemakers but a ton of teachers willing to push kids and work with them afterschool or in the classroom to make sure their needs are being met." And how do you get this to happen? Because we've found in our JKLM a huge lack of concern about gifted kids only performing at grade level (at least, as far as school testing goes.) And a refusal to use the works gifted or advanced, or to discuss, publically or privately, the needs of these kids. [/quote] It is pretty easy at Deal. There are LOADS of clubs to choose from and once you pick one the teacher can be a huge resource. One year the Brainteaser teacher was happy to work on math teasers. Science tends to have various clubs and those teachers are good resources. I think my DC's favorite though was creative writing and working with the teacher who ran that club to improve writing outside of class/club time. Lots of options.[/quote]
