[quote=Anonymous]Agree with 20:58 In addition, if we want to change the balance of struggling versus advanced (so that everyone benefits) we need to develop gifted programs, advanced programs, etc. It doesn't mean pushing out struggling students, it means bringing in and keeping stronger students. At this point, I am not sure that any of my kids would actually qualify for a gifted or advanced program, but I think it would benefit my kids to be surrounded by the brightest. That may mean having a mix of selective schools, schools within schools, tracking, etc If DCPS has about half it students considered struggling, and DCPS was able to attract another 22k students who are mostly at or above grade level, , making the ratio 2:1 in favor of proficient and advanced students. Even struggling students benefit. Thus, I am a supporter of accommodating G&T/TAG even if my kids don't participate fully in them, the ancillary benefits overcome whatever downside there might be.[/quote]
