My granddaughter is a gifted student in Dayton Public Schools. 3 years ago we checked out some charter schools to see what they could offer her. The North Dayton School of Discovery told us they had gifted student classes and painted a rosy picture. After a month, her behaviors changed. What we found out was that there was NO gifted student class, and she was in a classroom with children who had been expelled from the public schools. It was awful. I tried to report this to Dayton Schools and Ohio Department of Education, but they said they couldn’t take the complaint—I had to take it to the school’s sponsor. How ridiculous was that??!!
