Dottie will have her own response but some pull-outs advance kids academically. Others just "give" kids work to do. Might be interesting work but it may be geared away from any core subject so they aren't advancing in areas in the traditional classroom.
It is part of the reason the state of ohio's ODE placed some mandates around gt services so that pull-out or other services didn't equate to a handful of worksheets. Again, Dottie will have her own answer.... but sometimes getting "in" the gt program doesn't pan out to be the saving grace some are hoping for.
Or maybe her school in located in the dairy belt and they study the various forms and textures of cheese :-P
