For the large number of elementary schools that send 5-10 children to a center school, including mine, how do you propose challenging those 5 gifted children?  [/quote]

How do you propose challenging the 5 or so actually gifted children stuck in watered down AAP classes with a bunch of non gifted children?  If a middle of the road AAP kid can't be challenged or educated alongside bright gen ed kids who barely missed the cut, then how can children who are actually gifted be educated and challenged alongside those middle of the road AAP kids?  [/quote]

Please refer to the title of this thread and pause for self-reflection. [/quote]

:lol: I was being (more than) a bit facetious.  Kids who truly can't be challenged and educated in their base schools with subject-by-subject flexible groupings are exceedingly rare.  I think the PP is being completely ridiculous if he or she really thinks that the 5-10 kids sent to a center couldn't be educated alongside the next 10 brightest kids in each subject.  Some of those gen ed kids are already taking advanced math, and the teachers could arrange and select reading groups such that the top 5 or so kids in the grade are grouped together. [/quote]
