alright, seems this old thread is alive again. I am frustrated with GATE in Poway due to the fact that my son was tested GATE (99.7 something), but he was not performing as he supposed to. As a fact, he has trouble understanding some instructions when doing math or reading comprehension. When I asked his teacher, she simply commented that “GATE students’ brain functions differently.” It seems that his angle of thinking is different.As a result, he is frustrated too. I really wish Poway has a program catering to GATE students. But again, I suppose every gifted students has his/her own area of giftness…
