[quote=Anonymous]The language of "at grade level" obfuscates the differences we're talking about in DCPS. By fifth grade, your normal-bright, not profoundly gifted kid could be reading at an eighth grade level in a class with kids who are reading at a second grade level. If you would hesitate to put an average 14 year old in a class where most of the kids are normal 8-10 year olds, even if the younger kids were well-behaved and emotionally mature, and you would be skeptical of a teacher or school system that assured you this was fine and everyone would get their needs met, you probably should hesitate here, too.
