In a discussion about best options for kids like ours, a friend and I ended with neither of us knowing what we would do in the following situation, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see what you all would do:
Here's the scenario: elementary age kids currently at a private school that isn't bad, but isn't really meeting the kids' needs. Possible options for next year:
1) stay where they are and hope that they get a good teacher
2) try to get into the gifted program in the district, which doesn't have a great reputation for the pg kid, but that has 2 grades combined in each of the gifted classes
3) enroll the kids in a new school being started by a teacher who the kids love and who seems to get gt kids
Assume you don't know anything about the details of any of the programs, so you can't really do a curriculum comparison, or a personnel comparison, except for knowing who the teachers are in their current school and who one of the teachers would be at the new school.
How would you decide what to do with your kid?
