[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a loud mouth?  That's how it works at our school.  Pretty amusing to watch and definitely not the brightest bunch in the grade.  Just the most annoying and obnoxious parents.

Many with the highest scores are not in it.  They filled it in K/1st with the loud mouth's kids that were doing Kumon since 1.  Now they don't have space for any new kids even if they are brighter.[/quote]

+1. Even if you win a spot, don't expect actual services to track your kid's abilities. [/quote][/quote]

This really depends on the school.  At my kids' school, they don't even start referring most kids until 3rd or 4th grade.  [/quote]

If people don't name the schools and just bitch anonymously on DCUM, there will never been any pressure for the Superintendent or Board to take action. People need to name the schools where these things are happening. It is not APS policy or even the practice in all schools. [/quote]

Take action and do WHAT? The program is fine. We don't need to assuage your ego. Arlington is one of the best school districts in the entire country. Its resources are currently strained -- they don't need to "do" anything about G&T program while they're wrestling with finding seats for everyone. For Christ's sake.[/quote]
