[quote=Anonymous]Our title 1 eotp DCPS has lots of individualization/small groups, and very very capable teachers, so so far our kid is being challenged and working at the top of his potential. so we are happy. But I really think a lot of it depends on the personality of the kid, not just their intelligence level. The "gentrifier" kids I see thriving at our school are all very outgoing and full of positive energy, in addition to being smart --- I think their outgoingness leads the teacher to see them more clearly and to feel excited to challenge them. I see a lot of shy-er UMC kids being overlooked, and their parents aren't as confident about the school meeting their needs -- maybe these kids would do better in a school where most kids were "above average" and that was the norm..m they wouldn't have to make themselves stand out to be working on advanced material.[/quote]
