Re: Gifted/Skilled children education programs - Pros and Cons
All three of my kids have been through this program. They call it TDP in our school district. Talent Development Program.The only upside I can think of , is that kids do not need help with their homework . They are smart enough to do their homework on their own. What bearing it has on their overall education , I would not know as in high school , both my boys became slackers. The older one got his act together in his last year of high school and passed with honors . The junior was goofing off till last semester , nothing seemed to be working for motivating him , one fine morning I came up with the inspiration to motivate him with the use of money which seems to be working and I see him seriously working on his homework and studies on his own when I come home, and teacher’s feedback tells me that he is doing good now. My daughter has started middle school and she is doing great because she is challenged enough to do good in school.
