Thank you. I haven't read the last article, which I will, but I did read the Nation Deceived pieces, and even showed them to my child. It's nice to know that you still fret over the decision even if you know it is the right thing to do...that is how I feel.
In our state, there is nada-not even testing to "prove it" unless you fight for it. We were told by a school psychologist, what will our child get in a public school with these scores and was told "Nada". There is no funding, no G/T coordinator, no responsibility to look for bright kids, etc. Acceleration is also incredibly rare so these kids just stay put and are expected to continually perform to "prove" they are smart.
