in Seneca Hill PS, there are gifted classes, from Grade 4 to grade 6.
When your child is in Grade 3,the teacher may send him/her to a test centre to do an accessment, around December. Somebody said you can call the test centre to schedule an accessment by yourself, if you really kean on it.
if pass, then he can enroll in that class.
It is fun to study in that kind of class, students can learn more.
I think you can check the website of TDSB

Thank you so much, abc. Another question is, if my daughter takes the test in this school and passes (I hope), but the next year when she is in Grade 4, we move to another neighbourhood, what will happen?

OK here is what I heard from a friend.They moved after their daughter was admitted into a gifted class. Since there is no school bus coming to the new area, the school gives the girl free bus tickets and lets her take buses everyday.
Guess this is only one of the options though.

A Q for you: do you know which store sells good second-hand piano? Any experience to share? Thanks.

Thank you for your answer, and I am sorry I have no experience on buying used piano. My daughter is using a keyboard now.

what is your budget for a piano?For a little bit more than $4000, you can buy a brand new made-in-china piano, upright I like PearlRiver (from Guangzhou) and Bergman (from tianjin, it is a product of yangchang.com, a korean company). I bought a Bergman (48"), and one of my neighbour got a PearlRiver.

The manufaturer provides 10 years or even 15 years warranty. Because I don't know how to inspect a piano. From Yellow page, you can find a lot piano store.

小学天才班是从3年级开始准备,一般要经过老师,学校推荐, 教育局派人到学校经过笔试,面试合格后就可录取。第2学年(4年级)开始进入天才班学习。

没有想到,加拿大也搞什么天才班?就像沈阳的育才学校一样,也要残害我们的下一代阿??

不是残害,恰恰相反,是保护!保护那些天才学生的天分不至被埋没,而天才班就是根据这些学生的特点设置的特殊教育课程。

那么这些天才的孩子是不是学习的压力和作业比其他的孩子要多?学习的时间多了,孩子的自由的时间就少了,孩子的天性也许就会少了许多,这不是摧残是什么?不是伤害是什么?就像文化大革命刚刚结束的时候的中国的少年班一样的现象吧?结果那些少年班的人到现在也没有出来一个科学家。

但是据我所知,天才班的孩子都很enjoy他们的生活,他们觉得学习是很有趣而的事情。可能这就是中国和加拿大教育体制的不同吧。

有了这些少年班或天才班,那么没有在这个班的学生也许就会被看成是弱智的学生吧?你可要知道,家长都是希望自己的孩子不比别的孩子差的,这样必然兴起一股考少年班的热潮,必然影响孩子的正常的发育。这样下去,互相攀比的现象就会出现,孩子由于没有考上天才班就会被家长批评和打骂,我想这不是加拿大教育的本意吧?还是还给孩子一个轻松的环境吧。。尤其是对于中国来的新移民,这个天才班又把孩子推向了苦难的深渊。

一年级就有啊。我儿子一年级参加了一个考试,好象考数学、阅读、逻辑推理(忘记那词了,反正就这意思),他的数学、阅读在TOP5%,逻辑推理在TOP1%,进了“THE GIFTED AND TALENTED GROUP“,不过一周只有一次,平时还在原来的班级。那个GROUP另有3个三年级的学生,都是来自中国。
一年下来老师就教他们打扑克、下国际象棋。

一个是隶属学校的,一个是隶属教育局的,可能不一样吧?

请教DX如何得知是隶属学校的还是隶属教育局的,他们年级就一个人参加了这项考试,所谓1%、5%是根据所有参加这项考试的同龄学生通计。学校哪里有资源自己办班,都是向教育局申请额外拨款的。

对不起,也许我不太了解你的小孩情况。但是,我曾经前后3次和校长咨询和探讨过天才班的课程,,他很肯定地告诉我们:1.天才班一定是3年级以后才可以考:2.有些私校的program和公校是不同的。请问; 你的小孩是上的哪个学校?也许我可以到教育局在咨询一次。

I just read an article, about the education in USA. Very helpful for our chinese to peak in what is the education in USA, and Canada as well.
Because my daughter did the same homework from Grade 3.

我有两个朋友,他们的孩子同岁(11),一个在加州上天才班,一个在纽约上私立学校。去年春假纽约的孩子来加州玩,才发现天才班比起私立学校来跟本不是一个级别。
