Wren, you've crossed the border and seen some of the high performing schools in NYC and the gifted / private world in Toronto. What's your take on how the politics and ideology around giftedness in the two countries play out in the schools, if at all? Did one system serve your DD better? I'd value hearing your thinking!
Really, that question doesn't have to be just for wren. Anyone who has experience with more than one education system probably has some interesting insight into how the different methods benefited (or didn't) the students.
I've been a culture-bound parent in Canada, so what perspective I have on other countries' models is gleaned second-hand.
