New "regs" a blatant attack on gifted students!
 

Virginia has finally decided to do it. Rather than pull up the bottom, we'll pull down the top.

No funding, local decisions, let's stick to the kids that have the potetnial to change the world, because it's unfair that they have that potential.

If these regs go through my kids will go to private schools and I'll fight in court to get out of paying taxes to support public school.

I'm so sick of SOLs and AYP driving everything.

Do something for the kids that have the potential to save the world. My son hated school until he was identified as gifted and actually started receiving services. The gifted program saved him. Under these regulations, make no mistake, my county would effectively disband gifted services.
