[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I am deeply curious. Are ther GT programs generally available in MoCo ESs? This is one thing we have been asking for on Cap Hill. Have been told it is imposdible (ven laughable to ask) in all of DCPS. We have been told that "differentiation" is the norm, but I have my doubts.[/quote]

8:07 PP here:  To be honest, I have very little understanding about what the GT designation in the home school means.  My kids' non-HGC teachers always differentiated the classroom instruction, so I don't know what difference the GT designation makes, really.  I don't recall the kids being pulled out for anything special.  I had the sense that even after we came to MoCo, the kids were not being fully challenged, but the teachers were open to finding ways to push them harder in their regular class, and as I said, the large number of high-performing peers alone has been a good influence on them.  HGC has been great for them...the biggest thing is teaching them how to apply themselves to longterm tasks that cannot be whipped out on the bus before school, as they typically do.[/quote]
