Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments they have a secret gifted program!

Maybe not so bizarre. One possible explanation is that the principal has seen a need and put this solution into place. It can't be officially labeled gifted either because of state laws about accessibility (not available to other kids in the district) or teacher training (GT training is often required), or it's not labeled as such because it's being done without any clear admission criteria, which can lead to class size problems.

I'm glad your daughter found her way into the program, coveln. Quietly pass on the info to other parents as you see appropriate if you hear others expressing concerns about their kindergarteners. Clearly it's no so secret, since your psychologist clearly knew about it.

Here's to a great year!
