[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I agree with the pp.  I have one "outlier" kid who would benefit so much more from an actual gifted program instead a water-down one.  In 4th grade and she's still not getting challenged at all.  And I mean, at all.  She doesn't study, barely does homework (and since it doesn't count in their grade it doesn't really make a difference), and gets straight 4s.  She learns more at home on the computer, reading, and doing extracurriculars.

Meanwhile, a classmates parent is telling me the other night how her kid is failing the math tests and gets to retake them.  It's ashamed that this program is set up this way.

I have another kid that is "smart."  The teacher's all fawn all over him.  Why because he's sweet, follows all of the rules, listens to instructions, and generally does well in class.  The teacher's already talking about AAP for him and DH and I are looking at each other like she's crazy.  He doesn't need AAP.  He does well in gen ed and that's where he'll stay.  The other sibling, however, NEEDS this program to kick it up a notch and stop catering to every "smart" kid.  [/quote]
You could have the genius kid edit your posts for errors.[/quote]

I could, but she's asleep and I'm not writing a thesis but late at night on an anonymous board.  Plus, I'm paid for my ideas, not for perfect writing skills.  I pay people for that.    [/quote]
