[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely agree with above poster. Who gives a whit about "back in the day"? [/quote]

Well, people who have older children who were in what was actually a very small program for [b]gifted[/b] kids - GT.  Now it's just a massive, slightly accelerated program for mainstream kids which only serves to divide schools that used to be communities.  So I give more than just a "whit," because I'm tired of trying to explain to my child why there are so many more AAP kids at his school than GE.  Because it's definitely not because all these kids are smarter than most Gen Ed kids.  [/quote]

My kid woukd have easily qualified for either the old program or the current program.

The current program is far better for HG kids in my opinion. More of a variety of abilities. More "typical" kids to balance things socially. More very hard working very smart but not quite gifted kids to srt an example and push the bar for study skills and organization.

Perhaps a slightly smaller program than what they have now, definitely smaller than the bloated fifth grade class would be ideal, but a tiny program for only kids like mine would be just as bad as what the fifth grade AAP has.
