[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always wondered how FCPS is able to have self-contained classes for this population. I would think it goes against the whole idea of LRE. [/quote] My understanding, which could be totally wrong, is that gifted programs were created earlier in time, before LRE. I've seen some people say that gifted programs were created by teachers to engage the more troublesome students, to keep them interested and out of trouble. Sort of as a defense mechanism from the shenanigans bored bright children can get into. That may not be accurate, it may be that the research showing a cohort is important was the original driver of gifted programs. Segregating gifted students for some amount of time (a few hours, one day a week, or a majority of the week in FCPS) is well established, but may begin to change now that LRE is the new goal. The two ideas, a cohort and LRE, seem to be in conflict.[/quote]
