Yup.
Welcome to Gifted Education in the state of Oregon. That's in a GOOD district, by the way.
Oh, but there are LOADS of AP options to choose from. When you're a senior. Some "highly qualified" juniors may want to discuss those options with a high school counselor, too. (Of course, they shove
almost all college-bound kids into those classes, so watering them down a bit is rather a given... but anyway).
You can always sit in the back of the room and work on your own out of a book (provided by your parents). Just don't expect any instruction at your level. (No, really-- this has actually happened to several students I know personally during middle school, and they were NOTHING like PG... they just needed geometry in 8th grade...
)
Whoops. I guess my bitterness is showing. I wonder sometimes why my state even bothers mandated identification. Is it to gather data? Because it sure isn't to offer those kids real differentiation as needed.
