[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You do realize that the principal at Watkins flat out said that the school would be intentionally ignoring the needs of advanced students in favor of closing the achievement gap. This isn’t just pearl clutching. [/quote] This might refer to a post I made last year. At a public meeting at Watkins, she said that given the limited resources, there would be times that teachers would be focusing more on kids with the greatest needs. This is of course true at any school, but it's a bigger issue at schools with larger achievement gap. I was pleased she acknowledged reality. But that DOESN'T mean ignoring any kids. My kids at Watkins are learning and are happy. Yes, to be honest, I do worry about the academic rigor, but so far we've been satisfied with the academics and happy with our kids overall school experience.[/quote]
