[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I feel fortunate to be in bounds for Maury, and for the improvements there -- which realistically I know are due to "high ses" influx. Yet this race thing is so gross ... Why can't Watkins have the same nice stuff? Why should "high ses" get special services in the guise of being advanced? [/quote] The advanced thing sticks with me, too. Most kids in DC who are getting services called advanced or this crazy gifted label are really just normally bright and smack on grade level, maybe a bit above. It us just that there are many many kids below grade level and way below grade level that normal appears advanced. I would much prefer some of these schools up the game in the regular classroom and assign extra resources to remediation and extra help for those trying to catch up. But I guess that sounds different and maybe stigmatizes? Much more pleasant to think all our kids are ok or advanced.[/quote]
