On November 7, 2005, Get School: An Education Blog posted several criticisms of what is happening in many gifted education pull-out programs.

The blogger, Patti Ghezzi, writes that "Parents often complain that ... [pull-out programs are not] ... enough. Their kids are still bored in traditional class. They also complain that the projects are to showboaty and lacking in substance. They tell me they want their child’s gifted education to extend beyond the pull-out program, and they question whether teachers understand the complexity of the gifted child."

The blogger then asks the questions, "Parents, are you satisfied with your child’s gifted education program? What would your ideal program look like? Teachers, how do you handle gifted children in the classroom?"

The blog has been flooded with more than 60 responses from parents and teachers alike. Visit this blog posting titled, The Gift of Gifted Education.
