[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somehow ALL the other school systems in the country manage with a clustering model but there are just SO many gifted children in FCPS that they require their only classes and schools. ONLY in Northern Virginia, nowhere else. I see.[/quote]

Not only in northern Virginia, but also in NYC (Stuyvesant), Durham (NCSSM), Reno (Davidson)... Basically in many places where they recognize that gifted students do better when surrounded by other gifted students.[/quote]

Those are high schools. I agree that we should follow that model. LLIV would be much less of a drag on resources if it disappeared [/quote]

DP.  Many school districts have a GT program.  Sometimes it is a one-hour pull out program, sometimes it is a one day program. When I was a child, our program did both of those in different years. The one day program was a lot better because we were all bused to one school and spent the day together.  The full time program of FCPS is unusual but not bad or wrong.  I'm glad my kids got to have it and feel bad that younger children will not get it when it is finally dismantled.  [/quote]
