I know that years ago in FX and Montgomery Co.s you could advance several grades in Math. Now you can only advance one grade level. That is stealing learning opportunities from these children. In the long run these children are being brutally underserved. [/quote]

Unfortunately, those children are only having their needs met if their parents enroll them in special gifted math programs, like Russian School of Math or AoPS academy.  Public school is unwilling to do anything for them.  [/quote]

That's right!

The sad part, is that because the school is not budging, these kids are missing on social time and bonding through sports etc., in order to reach their potential in their areas of giftedness. They are not only missing out in math, but also in science, as they are intertwined. Not only are they missing out on the social aspect of sports, but also on the physical aspect, that being health and exerting energy. Because of lack of sports they may behave poorly, and they get in a vicious cycle.

A child that is gifted in Liberal Arts has an easier time, because they can read away, and the school also encourages reading and writing  more than they do math. [/quote]
