[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the BASIS example could be apposite to the situation. I would make it of that rigor and promote the hell out of it, but make it clear that it's rigorous, period, there are always other schools for you.

Then I would site it in Anacostia. Accessible to the Hill but across the River.

I actually believe it would be extremely popular, contrary to some views of the potential of EOTR kids. That said, I think a no-excuses academic rigor should be quietly accompanied by some serious tutoring. Not by the same staff.[/quote]

This is explicitly being talked about as an add-on to existing schools to make them more attractive. Not a standalone option. These exist already and they're not run the way you're suggesting.[/quote]

What is the existing standalone elementary or middle school G&T option?[/quote]

Not standalone options. Programs at existing MSs and HSs, like what's being suggested here. (Which the board member clarified was not G&T.) Advanced math options, IB, AP classes, "early college". All of this exists and it doesn't make these schools more broadly attractive because of the implementation. [/quote]
