I must be brain dead, I just realized you started this thread, Questions. Ha Ha Ha. We have official GT starting in 3rd grade but it seems the district is selecting for highly creative kids and may be not selecting for academically gifted kids. That leaves nothing but supposed differentiation which ain't worth the paper it's printed on it seems beyond reading groups.
Our district doesn't even notify the parents of the testing so the parents don't know if the kid missed by 1 point. I only knew about it b/c DS was in GT pullout for math and I have a relationship with the teacher so she told me. I then called the GT coord to get the scores and was told he wasn't creative enough for the program but now they are considering academics.
Hey questions we can HS together virtually in the Fall.
