[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the issue isn't so much whether a kid is "truly gifted" but the fact that if your kid is just a little bit above average that probably puts them in the top 5% at most schools.  When you have kids entering middle schools (NOT DEAL, Basis or Latin) that are still reading at a 2nd grade level because DCPS can't hold anyone back...then yeah, your kid who is above average sure does look "gifted" and will be bored in class at least when they aren't expected to be tuturing their classmates. This is where DC is failing miserably and then continues to act so surprised that pretty much every parent who demands more for their kid jumps ship in 4th grade to try and get into Latin, Basis, Deal, private or move.

Come on now, is there something in the water in DC that produces all these GIFTED children, of course not. They seem Gifted because the standards at DCPS are so low and in some schools the literacy level is extremely low. In reality, we have no more G&T children than any other state, and no states can use an IEP purely because a child is G&T. [/quote]
