HI everyone, so it was confirmed with me yesterday that my sons gifted class will always work only 1 grade level ahead and at the same pace. This means that even though DS can (and enjoys) books that are at a 7th and even 8th grade level, they will only do 5th grade level stuff (he's currently in a Gifted 4th grade class). I was under the impression it was a "self contained" gifted class when he first started 2 years ago but knowing now that all kids will work on the same exact thing and only 1 grade level ahead I'm nervous this isn't the best kind of gifted program. So....what is your child's gifted program like? Similar? Different??

Thanks a bunches
