[quote=Anonymous]No one disagree with "closing achievement gap".  It is a noble goal period.

However, who will close global achievement gap for American kids?  Without science/technology advantage, how will they compete in global economy 10/20 years later?

IMHO, the concerned parents are making a plea,  "please not kill the goose that laid golden eggs".

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like this forum is unfortunately being taken over by sarcastic verbal bullies. This does not help your children. Having worked at the Board of Education level, in the development of C2, this curriculum was designed with the goal of narrowing the achievement gap. From what parents can see, accelerated students are not the priority. This equation is wrong, and over the course of the next few months the School Board will be responding to the mounting number of parents who have rightly spoken up against this elimination of instruction and attention to accelerated students. (By the way, it is wrong to assume accelerated students do not come from ALL races, and as an African American I find it offensive that people who speak against those who want change assume these families are from other countries or from affluent or educated families. )[/quote]

I don't think anyone has brought up race? There was just the one line, "My impression of the parents bringing these concerns is that they moved to Montgomery County, [b]many from abroad,[/b] because they heard it had exceptional public schools." But yes it does seem that this curriculum prioritizes narrowing the achievement gap. And if they can find a good way to bring up the lowest performing kids while simultaneously serving the highest performers well, then I'm sure we could all get behind that. I wouldn't want to sacrifice the goal of eliminating the achievement gap though.[/quote][/quote]
