[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been a supporter of the public schools and have had a recent debate with my wife between public and private. But after reading this new initiative I am starting to lean more towards private schools.[/quote] [quote=Anonymous] The Fairfax County system and others in Northern Virginia have started an enrichment program that targets high-achieving minority students. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/2011/11/06/gIQAeYImtM_story_1.html[/quote] If you are referring to Young Scholars, it is not a "new initiative." Also, note that "gifted and talented" FCPS students include those that are eligible for full-time Level 4 Center placement AND those students eligible for pull-out services (Level 2 and Level 3). 40% of students are NOT in Level 4 (full-time center) services.[/quote]
