[quote=Anonymous]Funny how people can be loosey goosey on what DC needs just because it's DC. Sad. Most other jurisdictions, including those surrounding DC have G/T programs based upon time-tested research on their viability, usefulness and efficacy. The flippant "I don't think we need a special program for G/T kids" would get you a blank stare sideways if you blurted it out in Fairfax where they have AAP programs designed just for that. Same in PG. Why would it be different in DC? It wouldn't. Just DC is so mismanaged and disorganized, not to mention the parents here who's comments do nothing but bite their nose to spite their faces, that G/T cannot be implemented. Also, the smokescreen BS about DC's specialty/advanced courses is just that, a smokescreen. Sometimes it's hard to accept that a system is failing. A movie has been made about it, the political sphere is abuzz with politicians stepping in for control (ala Catania, and the mayor supporting giving the Chancellor chartering powers) and people cry about it every day and yet you still have these deniers out there. Let's hope for everyone's sake, these people aren't parents. [/quote]
