One additional point I want to add that I have learned about from being on this Board is in regards to two schools of thought on GT education:
1. advocates "going deep" meaning that core subjects are studied at length, maybe even exhaustively
2. advocates "going broad" meaning that several subjects are studied but not really in depth (Spanish, Chinese, Art, Music, PE 2x a week)
The public GT/HG program is a proponent of the first school of thought whereas the Charter is strongly in favor of the second. I do wish we had a blend of the two philosophies offered as an alternate choice
I know there are others on the Board that can elaborate on the two schools of thought philosophy...
