I teach at my sons' school, both gifted. We dont have magnet or gifted school options and the public school for elementary thus far has been better than private due to class size, curriculum and gifted program. We do not have a very good gifted program and for our large school of 650 kids, we were just informed that our half time gifted facilitator's position has been eliminated. Our school has 11 certified special education staff members (including me, I agree with its importance, but its so unequal that its simply not fair.) My boys have a right to learn too and now their services are being reduced even more. Our state mandates that they qualify the kids, but not actually serve them. I am planning to meet with the principal and will talk to the district if a solution cant be met. Please offer any advocacy suggestions:)
