[quote=Anonymous]The ACPS TAG program has been under fire because, as pointed out above, white students have been over-represented in the program. In response, ACPS has so watered down the TAG program that it no longer really exists. In middle school, there are no more TAG classes - only "honors" classes, which for the most part are not rigorous enough, particularly for the gifted kids. In 4th and 5th grade, the pull out class size has ballooned because the standards have become lax and so now the TAG class sizes are becoming bigger that the regular class (which has two teachers). Last year, the TAG Coordinator opposed getting rid of TAG math at the middle school - in response, ACPS got rid of TAG math and got rid of her - she has gone to Arlington. [/quote]
