"The Poor Neglected Gifted Child"

<p>No gifted program in our district, and no honors classes. AP’s don’t start until junior year. Neither of my kids went to our public high school. D was in a private and S went to a neighboring public that had a great honors/AP sequence. </p>

<p>One thing that really gets me is that kids who read well can move on and read harder books. But kids who are good in math have to wait for everyone else to “get” it. I think it would be great if it was normal practice to allow kids to be challenged in math the way they can be challenged in reading.</p>
