[quote=Anonymous]Bizarre. Why the desire to hide achievement and make GT sections secret? I've heard some school administrators complain that if parents know too much about groupings that they'll push their kids to get harder work. Well so what? Why is it the school's place to decide that kids should or shouldn't be pushed. If some parents want to push their kids, then that's a parental choice just as it is for parents who want to push their kids to achieve in sports. We plaster sports achievement everywhere. Cheer, put the trophy on the wall but for academics were supposed to slow our kids down and embrace them working below their potential. Even though almost none of our kids will ever be professional athletes somehow achievement in athletics is completely celebrated and OK but while many of our kids will enter the professional workplace where academic achievements apply we shun performance.
