[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think that the system is fine. HGC is available for the kids who really need it and I've seen no evidence that the other bright kids aren't accommodated. [/quote] [b]Or maybe Starr simply realizes that the kids who suffer are those who will meet the standard no matter what happens in the classroom, so they're not a priority[/b]. [/quote] I've long felt that the sentence in BOLD is absolutely true. The objective is to bring everyone to "proficient" and "close the achievement gap". There are no measurable written goals for the kids who begin the year in the "advanced" category, so they are not a priority. Some kids are percepctive enought to even verbalize that they know they are just ignored in class. My DC became "proficient" at doodling dinosaur pictures in 3rd grade ... it was sad. In 4th grade DC went to a HGC and it was like night and day.[/quote]
