[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starr has an agenda.  he is against labeling some kids as gifted and therefore providing them with an appropriate education.  He sees differentiation as elitist.

Of course he's right in the sense that intelligence alone doesn't guarantee success or even the ability to collaborate effectively.  But it's an empty, silly observation to make on Twitter and it tips his hand to his ultimate goal -- teach to the middle because it creates better stnadardized test results.[/quote]

Dude. It wasn't about your snowflake. Power down the chopper.[/quote]

+1 billion. Doesn't the mommy brigade have something better to do than monitor the school superintendant's tweets? Seriously, get a life, get a job.[/quote]

Spoken like someone who doesn't have a gifted kid.[/quote]

I often wonder that is why some here likes him while others do not.[/quote]

Yeah, right, that's it: only parents with truly gifted children have the sublime intelligence to spend their days obsessing over tweets from a school official and calling him names on a public message board. Anyone who doesn't have a voodoo doll with Starr's name on it must have an - omg - average child. Oh, the horror of it all. Thank God for your brilliance and the exceptional children you are raising who will save the world from mediocrity.

You're welcome.  :)

Seriously -- it's our job as parents to advocate for the best education for our kids.  Teaching towards mediocrity does no one any good -- except school officials who live and die by test scores.
