[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t most UMC kids 5-6 grade levels ahead in reading? [/quote] Teacher here. Not even close.[/quote] NP. Agree! There is a lot of mediocrity in the UMC children. Their parents are raising a fantasy.[/quote] As opposed to what? Where do you think all the brilliant children are hiding?[/quote] There just aren’t many brilliant children. Or brilliant people in general. Every other parent in DC thinks their child is “advanced”. By the end of my kids school journey in DC , nearly every one in their social academic cohort was on the same level. Pure fantasy. [/quote] I have a theory that since DCPS doesn't test for giftedness, most UMC parents just believe that their kids are gifted. If they were tested, as in other districts, they would get a reality check (and it would be the top 2 percent, or top 5 percent, or whatever, that made the cut.)[/quote]
