[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is currently in K (and we're totally happy with the program). I guess I don't understand what happens in first and above. I mean, the cohort - all high-SES kids of highly educated parents - remains the same. Are upper grades slaves to some DCPS curriculum that is way too easy for this cohort? If DCPS is mandating some curriculum, wouldn't it be the same at all schools, including the much touted JKLMM? I mean, these are all kids of lawyers, doctors, nuclear physicists, etc., - they are ALL pretty smart. Are posters saying that Brent utterly fails to meet these kids' smarts starting in first? [/quote] JKLM's are "autonomous schools" within DCPS, meaning that they are free to set their own curriculum as long as they at least meet the common core standards (in reality, they make sure they meet the standards, then push beyond it in various ways, but they do follow CC). Is Brent autonomous?[/quote]
