Sad but true
Quote From: faeryedark Wow! The public school I went to had College credit courses. Also, the teachers were not afraid to give out F's and hold you back. They also had Gifted classes. I don't remember any ADHD kids. The teachers worked hard to keep kids stimulated and interested. If you weren't "with the rest of the class" they wanted to know why. Often, it was because a child was bored, or learned differently. So, the teacher's would move the kid to a class better suited to him/her. I was in 5th grade reading in 2nd grade and by the time I was in 6th I was working on my own in the back of the room.
I guess, it all depends on the district and the teachers Yes, my sisters did the duel credit classes too. They still graduated without knowing the difference between a noun/verb and were not able to do advanced math (anything beyone basics).
Even with ADHD, I WAS in the advanced classes in elementary school. I was still bored. I really think it does depend on the teachers and how much each individual school does for the students. You are right that a GOOD school works with the kids, and those are the schools I would not have a problem sending my kids too, but most of our local school don't care.
