[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look let’s just end the thread now.  Here is the deal with DCPS.

We live in DC, love the city, and want to stay in the city.  But our eyes are wide open to the weakness of DCPS in upper elementary, and much worst middle and high school.  We know there is no tracking, and the advance kids are not fully challenged.  Our child is young, and when the time comes when we see that this becomes a problem, we are going private.  For families who can’t afford it, they either move to the burbs or try to supplement extensively outside of school with tutors, etc..,

Parents with advance students who don’t supplement extensively and want to delude themselves that they are being adequately challenged can continue to do so.  But eventually they will face reality whether that be SAT scores, applying to test in high schools, or in college.

how about if I actually don't care that my child is "adequately challenged" (whatever that means) because I believe he is naturally intelligent and creative?  Also, have you seen Wilson and Wall's college acceptance stats? Do you think the kids at Banneker aren't challenged?

anyway, enjoy the burbs, with all their adequate challenges.  [/quote]

It’s obvious you did not thoroughly read the post.  They are going private if DCPS doesn’t meet their child’s needs, not to the burbs.

You are an outlier then if you don’t care to challenge your child.  Most of us do.  Good luck with that “naturally intelligent” in the real cut throat world.

My goal is to send a smart kid to college who is not burned out and is not an anxious mess.  That's how I was raised, and all my siblings, and we did great.  It's called inculcating self-motivation and self-direction.  Highly prized on the job market.  Meanwhile have fun at Kumon.

It’s obvious PP child is not in the high performing advance group.  [/quote]
