[quote=Anonymous]One of my kids was identified in first after a teacher referral. Teachers have been pulling me aside since preschool remarking that he is exceptionally smart. I think he probably counts as academically gifted in the true sense of the word. My other child is also bright and was identified as gifted in several subjects just before 3rd grade. In his case, I think he is very good in those subjects and benefits from the extra challenge, but a “gifted” designation probably overstates things. I have mixed feelings about the push in model. I think it has worked fine for my kids, but you’re in a fantasy world if you don’t think the kids understand which kids in the class are in the gifted group - I think this is really tough on the self esteem of many children.[/quote]
