Case: Gifted program
In a school district beginning a gifted and talented program, a teacher must choose four students to recommend for the program from her class, but she has five potential candidates. The parent of one of the students has threatened her if she does not recommend his daughter.
How should she respond?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As said above, I would tell Administration about the threat, but I would also do some digging to see if I can actually get 5 tested rather than just four.If it's in the best interest of the children and the school, I don't know why they would resist. Most schools love to increase their numbers for gifted, and perhaps another teacher only recommended 3, or maybe they would just test an extra child. I've never been limited to how many I can recommend, so I would definitely give this approach a try. |

Comments: While I do love the idea of including 5 students rather than 4, it doesn't address a solution to the parent threatening the teacher. |

Comments: It is worth to try to have five students admitted to the gifted program. Maybe there is some loophole in which this can be made possible. |

Comments: As you pointed out depending on the situation and if all the students ended up being qualified, then I don’t see why schools wouldn’t accept another gifted student, nice solution. |
