Kumon is not necessary. If we cannot teach basic arithmetic at that level it is of no use. For both of my kids I did not go to kumon, but I see many kids in my group attends. Not required | ||

My sincere advice is not to put kids in rate race If they can get it with min push or natural abilities than encourage them That is what we did for my son, it was tremendous amount of peer pressure, when they get the score cards and other results Even when he is topper in the school we never used to discuss with any body, always maintain low People were very curious about my son, continuous calls from friends Do what suits to u r kids, u know better | ||

my daughter is in gifted, we never tried to put her in. but they conducted a test end of 3rd grade and I got a letter saying she's put into gifted program. So far no issues being given some extra things to work on. this is in bay area. my opinion don't stress it, if the kid got talent they will get into it. | ||

Guys donot go with an idea, whether child is gifted naturally or not. it is always our failure to see something special in a child, given the environment Gifted program gives good academic start that also includes good analytical thinking. thats it. nothing special about that even if a kids doesn't attend, and goes for good middle and high school, that covers their gaps | ||

a gifted person does not eman that he will stay focussed and complete his exam properly. I have seen many kids who were excellent but lacks focus to do things in a coherent way because of thier age. coaching helps them on ways to tackles exam, practice etc.
each level has separate exams. again it depend on your county. you have to check the website to know how students are taken at each level. GT schools will provide an environment of early achieving minds that could propel him. Intha discussion waste. like is said try it out by coaching. if he or she makes it good, no also good. keep moving on. the story of YCP and TDP in 2014 (AP)- http://goo.gl/zgrYmQ http://goo.gl/gn6XL5 the story of TDP in 2014 (T) - http://goo.gl/nyu1Wu | ||

Usually Each School District In your area offers gifted programs of different kinds Please visit those websites and verify Self contained gifted programs effectiveness depends on teacher. some teachers really elevate kids abilities by challenging them as per their needs some teachers go in conventional way without challenging kids much , in turn make it as a couple of steps lower to actual program Some teacher go overboard without considering the age of the children, makes counter productive Leaving completely to the teacher's perspective is the drawback of these gifted programs Ultimately all kids normalize and do well when their brains develop to assimilate, only they differ by their age in blooming. Examples - A kid very good at social skills, may not be exceeding in academics, later he may develop those skills - A kid who is very good at academic , may not be good at social, later he may develop those skills But there are some genuine skills which are inborn due to their gene pool, that are specific to individual. | ||

They agree that Its sometimes little stressful for kid but they are ok with that. 2) They said that didn't go for Private only because they got kid admitted into gifted program. 3)But looks like making it into gifted program is tough as per them 1 out of 100 ( 99 percentile) gets admission into gifted program.They say that the kid went to private school in kinder garten and it made easy for him to crack the test. | ||

Real question is...Should we pursue it or not? By default, I've seen Indian parents pushing their kids for this. In the end they complain that the kids are being bombarded by lot of homework and feel guilty that their childhood is being robbed from them. I can't decide what's right or wrong...Hence experts/ seniors opinion is very valuable in my case. | ||

GT programs differ by state to state. You can join in multiple levels. if you think your kid is naturally talented, go for it. get him join in coaching for 6 months and let him try. if eh cant make it, he can try for another program after couple of years. it is an experience and also gives us assessment where he stands academically the story of YCP and TDP in 2014 (AP)- http://goo.gl/zgrYmQ http://goo.gl/gn6XL5 the story of TDP in 2014 (T) - http://goo.gl/nyu1Wu | ||

This topic might have been beaten to death in the past. If so, please someone share the links to those... We don't push our kids to participate in race comparing other's kids. We thought of letting kids enjoy childhood and make education a pleasant journey than them feeling like a race to be on top. We wanted to make sure if what we are doing is right or are we making a big mistake. So far my Son's progress have been great overall and he is still in first grade. I'd like to get suggestions/ advise from senior parents and understand the advantages/ disadvantages of gifted program. Thanks for all your inputs in advance. |
