[quote=Anonymous]PP, this is true for parents with means and parents focused on their child's education. I believe in tracking but I have no doubt that in general kids with parents who know how to and do advocate for their child will get more out of the system and that a lot of kids, especially poorer kids, will be placed in a track early on and never move out of that tracks. Of course, the current system allows that same student to get more services but chances are they will still stay behind their peers but I do believe they get more emphases in the current system to move head. There are a lot parents who push to get their kid in GT although they did not meet the requirements. They will also prep the kids through Kumon, test prep and other ways. Poor kids have only their natural abilities.[/quote]
