[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The GTA seems to be desperate to drag everyone into your efforts.  We elect the BOE, no?  We pay the MCPS salary.  Let us make them listen to them.  They are the people we pay with our taxes.

I looked at the emails of the GTA listserv and saw them whining that MCPS doesn't listen to them!!! Look at the way they pick on Starr and MCPS.

Why risk being associated with a group that is famous for attacking people they don't like?  [/quote]

How many organized changes have you seen implemented without organized advocacy? Please site the refernces.

You do not elect BOE. BOE candidates are hand picked by a powerful political group who wants all acceleration in neighborhood school be done with. They do not believe in ability grouping and hence they have used their political muscle to get the candidate elected. Read about voting statistics of current BOE candidate and see for yourself whether these candidates will support advanced learners?

Getting back to your points about MCPS not listening to GTA and people whining, the comments on the GTA site is not from GTA folks only. Second GTA is a parents group not different than you and me. I am parent, not a GTA member, who supports any group who will support accelerated education for all acceleration ready kids in neighborhood schools. Are you?[/quote]
