[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the difference in actual examples of how GE, Hon and AAP are differentiated is quite stark! It's apparent which school has an actual program of differentiated teaching and which school is shooting from the hip. What a shame. [/quote]

And you know what?  If your kid is really smart IT. DOES. NOT. MATTER.   Bravo to the poster with enough gumption to just send her brilliant kid to Thoreau because he was only a kid once.

The only people who spend time worrying about which center and dissecting how many non-AAP kids their prodigies might have to rub elbows with (horrors!) are people who don't have enough confidence in their own kids.  [/quote]

Actually, it does matter. Being gifted means being just as different, and learning just as differently, as those with intellectual disabilities. Different kids will be suited to different environments, but it is a fallacy to say that smart kids can do well anywhere. [/quote]

Also, the staff supports are different. For example, 2e kids may benefit from a school where staff have more experience and expertise in supporting the needs of 2e kids. Center schools often (but not always) have more experience/expertise with 2e kids than schools with local level IV programs simply due to numbers.[/quote]
