[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There aren't many profoundly gifted kids. Certainly not enough in DC to open a school just for them. I have nephews in a larger urban city that attend a gifted school, WIPPSI/WISC scores have to be 130+ (Just gifted) and they have trouble filling grades. Why should DC put forth resources to educate a handful of kids when they cannot get the majority of kids at grade level?[/quote] You would be surprised. There are plenty of kids with IQs over 130 to fill a couple of classes. The fact that most of those kids have not been identified is beside the point (and maybe another issue altogether). [/quote]
