Thanks, Donna. I kind of like the idea the idea of it being a "one room school" within the larger school. They aren't "separate" from the standard classrooms so they aren't treated differently by the other students that I've seen. I was in a 5/6 graded class for gifted students where they actually placed us outside the school in a trailer, lol! Most of us had a difficult time re-blending into the student body in the 7th grade because the other students treated us like something must have been wrong with us because we were segregated. I moved to a different school in 6th grade, where the same program was just started. I did well there because we were pushed to excel in our classroom but had lunch, library, music, art, recess & gym out with the rest of our peers. We weren't thought of as freaks so much. :smile:
