[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup, that's how it works. Parents' money buys GT in DCPS. Without it, no real challenge for the brightest kids.[/quote] WHat about charters does this work similarly?[/quote] Why would a charter admitting students via an open lottery provide more challenge than a DCPS program with an overwhelmingly UMC population? The only charter offering real challenge for the brightest math students is BASIS, because they weed out most of their students between 6th and 9th grades. Charter parent associations don't raise anywhere near the money of the best-resourced DCPS PTAs. Parents like language immersion charters partly for the extra intellectual challenge they offer, but it's a strange system, substituting language immersion for real GT.[/quote]
