Gifted kids should have the gift of private education
Why programs for gifted students?
Gifted students fare much better in private schools, where their needs can be better met. Gifted students are likely to be bored and under-stimulated in a public school where they are underappreciated and do not get the attention they should get. In a private school, smaller classrooms and more attentive, better trained teachers can make a world of difference to gifted children.
In fact, there are educators who balk at teaching gifted children because these children are bored with ordinary curricula. Rather than being seen as a boon to the classroom these children are seen as a disadvantage by some teachers. This extends to the social sphere, where they may be seen as "nerds" or worse.
OurKids.net lists numerous private schools with programs for gifted children.
While social inclusion is important, it is also important that your child is able to develop her gifts so that she may fully realize her potential.
Having your gifted child in a private school should be part of your long term plan for providing your child with the best education he or she can receive so that he or she can fully explored his or her giftedness.
