[quote=Anonymous]New to this area and the Gifted program we came from did not have any of the drama as here. They used a base line IQ to get into the program. Each child in Gifted also had an IEP, with goals being updated periodically. Gifted Ed. Was within the Special Ed dept. It was clear that gifted and twice gifted children were in the same class. I think that took out a lot of the drama. They handled discipline problems in all classes by harassing parents and sending the child to the front office Until the child was under control. There were no blogs about why gifted should accept smart children that get Straight As and do well on achievement tests. All classes based on grade were capped at about 10+ less students per class than Fairfax. Great Schools would report 15/1 or 18/1 that Refers to ''home room teacher per child" not the average teacher per child working at the school. [/quote]
