[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because there are 300 gifted students. And thousands of struggling ones. There are not endless resources. [/quote] Sure, close down TJ and the Blair magnet and close down Harvard and Caltech. 100% of resources must go to the students not doing well! Forget the relatively fewer students who are doing well. IF DCPS wants to keep driving away its top 5-10% of students, that's fine. But with a relatively low investment (differentiation) it could keep more of the good students. DCPS should put *most* of its resources into struggling students, but you don't create a top-notch system by leaching all your top students away to privates and MoCo. The top kids contribute to pulling up the whole system, just like TJ and Blair magnet play a role in pulling up the level of all in VA and MoCo. I'm not sure a bottom-heavy system is all that good for making DCPS shine. DCPS can walk and chew gum at the same time. [/quote] + a million[/quote]
