It's interesting, here I've been pushing to go back TO a pull out program for about 4 years and it's finally happening to a greater extent. I've experienced both pull out and push in programs, the GT kids always seem to get more out of the pull out programs as their with their peers, the school doesn't try to use the GT teacher as simply a second hand in a regular class room, and the students feel more comfortable and inspired around those of like mind. Each to their own though, you may have had a different experience.
