Lots of good resources and statements however the advice doesn’t apply to my teaching personally nor seem possible to do with teacher’s limited free time. The American school system just isn’t set up to support these kids and it sucks.

Very valuable resource about modifying for gifted students. At the same time, some of the suggestions would be so time consuming and involve so much parent support that they are no longer realistic in today's school system. It would have been helpful to have more options for quick extension in addition to some of the more elaborate options included.
