My DD (in kindergarten) made it into the gifted program! I am so excited. Her teacher has already started approaching her needs differently. Before the teacher had her pegged (or so she thought) as a behavior problem and wasn't willing to hear our concerns that maybe she was bored.
As glad as I am, it disappoints me that so many kids who are close but don't make the cut get nothing. So they just get to move along at the general pace without opportunities for extra stimulation. It just seems like a lot bigger percent of high performing kids should have the benefits.
