[quote=Anonymous]I mostly agree with her, as another AA family (with experience in private and DCPS). Expectations are low across the board and particularly for minority kids, who educators may be more likely to assume don't need as much challenge. However, I'm sort of surprised that she's surprised about the reading list. Many kids at DCI are behind, as I understand, and the reading list reflects that (of course, this is true for all of DCPS/DCPCS). Why would DCI's summer reading list be comparable to the one at GDS (the private school she mentioned)? Perhaps they should make it more varied and include more challenging selections like the Tomi Adeyemi book, but I think it makes some sense to aim for the level most appropriate for the majority of kids.[/quote]
