I am hearing that gifted kids can be under-served in public school, but i am not sure I have a better solution. We cannot afford to send her to a private school - so what other options are there?
Generally speaking, the creation of educational opportunities for outliers may come down to a family's skills in researching, advocacy, and providing extracurricular activities.
For example, these articles from the Davidson Database may provide a few ideas...
The
Davidson database has information on choosing a school, including:
-
Basic educational options for gifted students in schools-
Choosing the right school for your gifted child (contains "
must-ask questions and the answers that you should seek")
Parents may wish to learn answers to these questions, regarding their current school's approach to gifted education.
Center for Creative Learning LLC has an article
Dear School People, which may also offer some ideas.
If your child has particular areas of interest, you may wish to ask forum members to recommend specific resources which their children have enjoyed for advanced learning in those areas.
