[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will report from MoCo, where the gifted program is in fact as small as you suggest (a couple of kids get selected from each elementary tops). Helicoptet parents here also prep their kids way beyond what the schools want them to do. But it is probably a saner system because most everyone who gets left behind in the home school is pretty bright too, and an excellent education isn't reserved only for those called gifted.[/quote] This is how the FCPS system used to be over a decade ago when it was still called GT. The vast majority of kids stayed in Gen Ed - only very few [i]exceptionally[/i] bright kids got into GT. This was indeed a far more sane system in which everyone understood the kids at the extreme top end of the spectrum were receiving a special curriculum, but most of the other kids - very bright, bright, average, and LD - were considered General Ed students. There wasn't the resentment you see today - and with good reason.[/quote]
