[quote=Anonymous]At my middle school in Southern California, we had honors classes and regular classes. You got in to the honors classes based on tests and teacher recommendations. We didn't have G&T, but it ensured that those who were advanced continued to be challenged, and those who needed more assistance got the help they needed. I should also add that my middle school was 80% low-income/minority and there were plenty of non-white kids in the honors classes. In fact, there were only 3-4 or white kids. Why can't the same be done in DC? Saw upthread about how tracking didn't work in DC, but as couple of posters pointed out, the court did not invalidate tracking per se, but the court took issue with the method for placing kids into various tracks. Why not explore this option. Seems reasonable to me.[/quote]
