[quote=Anonymous]I support this classes with more integrated curricula, but the key is getting better trained teachers who are motivated to engage students.  Now I am going to be very controversial.  I think these classes should be available to all students who want to take them. I do not believe having "average" students in a class will slow down gifted students if the teacher is good. We moved from a rural community in another state where my older child went to a K-8 school which had only one class of about 25 kids in each grade. My son is quite gifted.  In both 7th and 8th grade he had excellent science and math  teachers who kept him busy and challenged. He prepared special reports, help develop some of the curriculum, helped his teachers program their computers, etc. We moved here and he is doing well at the Blair magnet. I also believe that the tests used to separate students are culturally biased. Why not let any interested student take these more interesting classes. If they don't do well they can always go into regular classes. [/quote]
