[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is not being challenged = my kid is around too many other kids with behavior issues. As a teacher what I love this year is that all my high SES parents threaten to leave because of lack of rigor- when the only truly advanced kid I have is FARMS. The real question is , if DCPs really did g&t how would all the parents react when they realized their kid was just average. [/quote]
Just happens to be that Farms are G&T and others are just average?! Not even one G&T among non-FARMS? I don't need a person like you on FARM side.

At my school we have to aggregate the data by black, white, FARMS, and SPED. That is why I can easily tell you that the G & T kiddo is FARMS. Like it or not, its how the data is used/organized. My school has recently made a huge push for computer based testing (not talking about the PARCC), but I-ready and SRI. One main reason we did this is so that we can truly identify the advanced kids. Another reason DCPS cannot do G&T in ES is because of IMPACT. Holding teachers accountable to growth is great, I truly believe it. But if one teacher had a classroom full of G&T those kiddos would automatically grow- and that teacher would get great scores. Now, the teacher with the struggling students would have much worse scores- even if that teacher was really great.[/quote]
