[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP but isn't it against the law for public school system to not serve the needs of each student?  If severaly disabled students are being sent to private schools (DCPS used to do this more often than people realize), then shouldnt DCPS be legally required to send the most gifted students to adademically rigorous private schools as well?

PP (to that post) here.  No, it is not against the law.  It's why BASIS can discriminate via acceleration.

DS's teachers were actually some of the best we've had.  Very friendly, very energetic, and very apologetic.  They just knew that public school wasn't going to cut it.

As the last poster mentioned, there is a tiny portion that won't ever be served.  Unfortunately for our younger child, he was one of those.  This isn't normal, though, so don't harp on it as an example -- it's a highly skewed sample.  He's reading college topology (on his own accord) at 7.  It's at his pace, of course, which is slow and rather shallow at this point, but you get the idea -- it isn't normal.  It freaks the hell out of us as parents.  He's happy and kind and outgoing -- you couldn't spot him at a distance.  But, when he turned in his "100 days of school" assignment in kinder, choosing to list the first 100 digits of Pi [i]in Ionic Greek[/i], you knew this wasn't typical.[/quote]
