Hi there. My daughter will be entering Kindergarten next year and has scored very well on one test used to determine admission to a school for gifted kids. The puplic schools also have a gifted program for which she will be tested in a couple months.
What are everyone's thoughts on gifted schools? Is it better to be surrounded by peers who are also intelligent or does that maybe foster competiveness among students or an attitude of "we are so smart and special, we are better than everyone".
I want to do the right thing for her and K is the only entry point into these schools for the most part.
