So sad when you actually see in print, what your state does not do for gifted children.

Julie, I totally agree. This chart is helpful, too, as we consider where to move next time.

It's even sadder when you see what your state claims they do for Gifted kids when in fact they do nothing.

OK, I passed this on to our Principal and our Superintendent, but I can't make any promises. :) We've gotten acceleration for both our kids, but others who need it either don't know to ask or aren't getting it for whatever reason. I have always said we need a policy - which would also keep other parents from getting annoyed with me. I would love to be able to point to a policy and say see, any kid who needs this is able to get it.
