[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like an excellent model and a common sense, simple and effective approach to the a racial inequity that should not exist in the first place. I hope they continue it.[/quote]

As a black parent of a reasonably bright elementary kid who tends to coast if others around her are coasting, I'm not sure I like the model.  We currently have her in private, but later on may consider returning to DCPS (IB for Deal/Wilson).  We want a good amount of challenge, and it doesn't sound like this model ensures it.[/quote]

I have a Wilson 10th grader. I'm not a huge fan of the model but can intellectually understand what they're trying to do. I will say that the model is phased out as the kids progress through high school. Right now, my DD only has two "honors for all" classes (chem and English). They are undeniably easy for her. However, she also has honors precalc, AP world history, biomed and con law to keep her occupied. Next year, she will transition to all APs in her core subjects.[/quote]
