Based on what? Last I knew, not being identified as GT doesn't make one in a protected class

My DS 11 LOVES chess, and is very good but is not GT. I don't understand why chess would be open to GT students only. My GT kid has no interest in chess. She knows how to play and enjoys it. My non GT kid would love to be a part of a chess team and would do very well. Why would it not be open to anyone who is interested? I can't imagine there would be a ton of kids who do not know how to play signing up for a chess team.


Sign your GT kid up for the club, but send the non GT chess kid. Parent Trap it. ♟️

How is it even possible to be very good at chess but not be identified as GT? They have nearly identical selection criteria.

If you don't provide facts for your outlandish scenario no one can help you.
