With the introduction of Common Core standards... followed by "enforcement" of the standards and data collection to monitor progress toward equal outcomes for all students, many have noticed a dumbing down of curriculum and expectations in the US public schools.

While your children may not achieve high grades in the new school with ease as they have become accustomed to in your former local US public school, their needs may be met if they have:
- appropriate academic challenge,
- academic/intellectual peers and other items mentioned in this article.

Also keep in mind that giftedness and hard work are not mutually exclusive.
