[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^so sue DCPS, genius.  First you have to figure out under what law you'll bring the suit...  Here's a hint, not IDEA.[/quote]

Why is this continuously about IDEA?  The point of the OP wasn't that IDEA was the panacea -- it was that we should be looking at G&T kids as being needy, in a sense similar to how IDEA students are needy.  Not necessarily to the same degree -- G&T kids aren't being taught to care for basic human needs like feeding and dressing.  The argument is that all kids deserve an education provided by DCPS, not just the majority.

IDEA was a concept that was thrown out as a means to an end.  Maybe it isn't the best one.  So, what is the real issue?  It looks like the issue is that a lot of people see "G&T" as already being privileged, and undeserving of additional service.  Others see them as having unmet needs.  So, which is it?  Once we know where we stand, it's easier to make a call.[/quote]

Look at the title of this thread, "[b]IEP[/b] for a gifted child?"  Individual Education Plan (IEP) comes out of IDEA (Individuals with DISABILITIES Education Act), unless you have a disability that falls into one of the categories posted in #2 of the start of this thread, IDEA does not apply to you.  Again, children without disabilities cannot have an IEP in public school.   Got it![/quote]
