[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like to see kids staying in their home school. There shoujd be classes  at all the schools for all the kids varying levels. [/quote]

It wouldn’t be possible to staff. I watched one of the MS magnets struggle to staff appropriately for the past three years. [/quote]

No, this isn’t like specialized HS STEM classes. [b]The exact same 6th, 7th, and 8th grade teachers are completely capable of having different classes where they make the students do more reading and writing.[/b]

And I think students at that age know how to self-select for the class that makes the most sense for them.[/quote]

No, they really aren’t. Which is why the state of Maryland wants all teachers of gifted classes to have specialized training. [/quote]

See comment at 7:30. It's not hard.

When you say gifted, maybe you're not talking about true outliers, not just advanced?

What I'm saying (and I think 7:30 seems to agree with) is that it's not that hard to create a class for the 10-20% of students who are higher-skilled and/or want to challenge themselves.[/quote]
