[quote=Anonymous]Look, you aren’t getting better gifted services anywhere locally or even in private at the elementary level because no one believes that memorizing math tables is an actual useful skill for 2nd graders anymore (or whatever it is that this gifted parent wants). The reality is that what you hope for is a good teacher who can support their interests and some really smart classmates. We got that in APS elementary school (North Arlington). Also, these demanding gifted parents tend to be parents who helicopter and their child isn’t as gifted as they think. The truly gifted kids are 1 in a blue moon and those kids actually obsessively learn on their own with a little guidance from teachers and parents. [/quote]
