Well, there are actually over 40 famous people that Apple has recognized over the years. Each person is on a black/white poster, but costs an arm and a leg on ebay. You can buy a button pack of all of them, and the list of all the people can be found on line. When I get a minute, I will find the list and send it to you. In my gifted classes, I had them pick a person and complete a project that shares why this person was CRAZY in their time.

No, our district doesn't use the scale, and unfortunately doesn't do much acceleration yet. I'm hoping that will change.

I have heard good things about it, but can't remember who was using it! Sorry.

I received your email about your son. As a gifted facilitator and teacher of primary students for many years before that, my experience has been that other students are more accepting and appreciative of gifted students in their classrooms in the early grades, but by about 3rd grade and up, it's no longer "cool" and most of the time, the gifted student wants to blend in with others and to be socially accepted as equals.

So, for now, you son will probably be happy with his age peers if his academic needs are also being met. But that might change.

As for acceleration, you have to consider all the factors before making a decision. While it can be an excellent choice for some students, it may not "fit" others. Ultimately, you have to make the decision that is best for your son and for your family.
