[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work as a school counselor in a school that had a program for "highly gifted" (140 and above IQ). These kids had many problems socially and 1/3 had anxiety, OCD, behavioral issues and other challenges. While it might have given them a more challenging academic program the impact of putting them all together and isolating them from their same age peers was not worth it. It is the same logic behind why we don't have kids skipping grades.[/quote] Makes sense! Only if DCUM parents understands it![/quote] +1 It's about more than just accelerated curriculum. I will add that many push for 120-130 kids in level IV because they do need more than gen Ed but there really are no services in the middle. Level III does not cut it at 1hr a week. LLIV schools are somewhat filling this gap but not all schools have this option.[/quote]
