Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy what to ask for in K next year

Hi ultramarina,

As to the school configuration, we are in exactly the same setup for DS7. A gifted magnet in a Title 1 school. At our school, they are quite interested/motivated to support the magnet:
The magnet parents are at every event, every PTA meeting.
They tend to be the ones volunteering in classes.
When the school or a teacher needs extra supplies, guess which group is bringing them in.
Gifted kids are locked in passes in standardized tests.
Gifted kids despite their quirks are often very helpful and easier to manage and make great reading buddies later on.
