There are gifted schools and gifted schools...Nearly as I can tell the gifted magnet programs in my district are set up to serve affluent children who like to do homework. My daughter has chosen to enroll in our magnet program this year, but already I'm frustrated with the fact that they don't have the faintest idea how to work with profoundly gifted kids, and especially not 2e. She's been repeatedly admonished for personal failings which are classic characteristics of both profoundly gifted kids and her particular disability. (The IEP meeting next week should be a rockin' good time...)
