[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yeah there's a lot of the lake woebegone effect with parents who think their little darling is gifted. And maybe she is but if she's in the top 10% of her cohort not the top 3-5%. They had to create a special AAP forum on this board just for parents to kvetch about it.[/quote] Again what is your point?? I think you are delusional if you don't think that kids who fall in the top 10% can be years ahead of other kids in a classroom, especially if the class has a significant number of students who are years behind grade level which is common in DC. If a kid, even in the top 10%, is able to work hard and succeed in advanced classes then the more the merrier in my book. Why drag them down too since the bottom line is that it is only natural for a teacher to focus the bulk of her attention on struggling students and only give lip service the rest.[/quote]
