I've learned that in 5th grade in our district, all of the fifth graders do the science curriculum together, including the full-day gifted program (they mix the classes up). I'm not sure what this means at the schools where there is no full day program--currently only two schools have the full-day classes.

Am I reading too much into this, or does anyone else think it might be a red flag about the district's philosophy about the gifted program?
