[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is "fully identified".  That means the 4 core subjects. The only differentiation I've ever been able to notice is Math b/c they started separating the classes at an early age.  I don't actually believe my student was doing anything different from her BFF in the other classes (BFF is not identified).  It's a sham.[/quote]

Maybe at your school, but I have met with our school’s gifted resources teacher and have had the opportunity to inspect the materials that are used at our school. I didn’t have that opportunity before my son moved on from elementary, so I had no idea what he was doing that was different aside from groupings and eventually math placement. I wanted to know more once my younger was identified, so I actively chased down answers with the gifted resources teacher.

I still don’t have a window into the classroom itself, but now when my daughter brings completed work home I can frequently identify assignments that came from the library of gifted materials that I myself examined. Those materials are designed to not look that different from the general ed materials, and include the same topics, so if you don’t know what to look for you’ll probably not know the difference.[/quote]
