[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is average, go private in ES. If your child is advanced, go public with a good gifted program. Privates are not equipped to teach gifted children the way publics are. [/quote]

Disagree. Gifted in public starts in 3rd grade. Our child was pulled out for special instructions with a handful others from 1st grade on without us asking. [/quote]

My child received informal pull outs like this in public too before the official gifted program started. [/quote]

Same with my child in public - pulled out for special instructions with a handful others from 1st grade on without us asking. All public schools differentiate from K on (most start at 1st though) but the separate gifted program where it's full time and with gifted peers, so there is not need for pull outs, doesn't begin until 3rd. We did public AAP through 8th and then went private for HS with our oldest two. We will do all public with the youngest because he's in AAP and because the HS has improved since my oldest came through. [/quote]
