One could argue that high achieving, higher income kids are left behind by the traditional school system in DCPS.  Unless you can buy a million dollar house in upper NW or Cap Hill for Brent, then your kid is screwed.  [/quote]

Cry me a river. High achieving, high income kids are not at risk of being left behind. They are at a huge advantage academically, and statistically will be JUST FINE even if they are not challenged in school until later. They are not at risk of anything other than boredom and being spoiled rotten.

And, KIPP has proven to be adept at challenging my 99th percentile tester. They differentiate. If you could get past all the black faces, you might like it. [/quote]

good on you but no thanks.  no problem with black or brown faces, just the pedagogical model at KIPP.[/quote]

What do you know about KIPP? Have you visited? Observed? Or just made a decision based on what DCUMers say about it?[/quote]

Well familiar with the model and I've done enough research.  My 99th% tester doesn't need a drill sergeant or life coach and 'no excuses' is a given.[/quote]
