[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't be upset at the lack of gifted programs if there weren't so many far-behind students in class. It's a mystery to me how these kids all start in pretty strong early childhood settings, at the ripe old age of 3, and some just don't move along at the right pace Maybe they have learning disabilities, maybe they just aren't that bright, but I'm still shocked how incredibly far behind, particularly in reading, some of these children in DCPS are. And when you task a teacher to manage/teach both these children and DC who was reading 3 grades ahead by the time we left, you know who is left to quietly read in the corner and get bored in group settings. Maybe we shouldn't ask for gifted programs, maybe we should just ask for more remedial pull-out programs/classes. And stopping social promotion wouldn't hurt, either.[/quote]
