But I think there is a grey area, and I'm okay with exploring that a little. People are not black and white...guess I would rather err on the side of inclusion just a wee bit than exclude kids who belong.
In our district students who have borderline scores or have really high scores in a particular area (but not overall) are put in a "Challenge" pull-out. This is especially beneficial to the low-SES students who have not had a home environment conducive to intellectual development. We have found that many low-SES students later score in the gifted range after being exposed to enrichment activities in a challenge class for a year or two.
