[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no public school system (or even private) that would ever be able to adequately meet the needs of a profoundly gifted student. “Gifted” programs are typically only providing curriculum that is one year advanced and only meets the needs of high achievers. This is why most profoundly gifted students are homeschooled. Your best bet would be to put your child in a Montessori school.[/quote] Lolollollol Caltech grad and math PhD here: The smartest kids in this country go down normal schooling paths and end up excelling at top colleges. Homeschooled kids get weird social pathologies and/or Christian extremist ideas that make them unsuited to actually doing advanced work, and end up being adult weirdos. At best. Ask me how I know: I was a dorm resident assistant for a long time.[/quote] 100% agree. Look at the USAMO qualifiers. Homeschool is very much the exception and not the norm.[/quote]
