I am getting ready for my dd's annual gifted meeting and here's my current dilemma. She is entering 7th grade and is still required to take reading as a class. She has scored advanced on her PSSA every year (that is the state test that our school thinks is the standard every child should be compared to ). In 8th grade, she won't have to take it because her scores are so great. I don't think she shpuld take it this year but I know that arguement will be an uphill battle. Any thought for or against? Keep in mind that our school doesn't have a clearly defined gifted program All gifted opportunities are individualized for the child.
