[quote=Anonymous]I think DCs lack of advanced classes hurts ALL kids or all races and incomes. Its just not realistic to put every kid in a class together when they have significantly different abilities. I hear your concern PP. And its likely a teacher is making some assumptions about your AA kid. But the reason DC got rid of gifted classes was because they were sued since they didn't have enough AA kids most likely due to testing bias. I think the charge for gifted classes needs to be led by AA parents who demand more. DC has just made DCPS standards so low. Many charters become self-selecting in that regard. The parents with high achieving kids often are the same parents who can shuttle their kid across town to a better school, research schools, make multiple open houses etc. And those parents have kids that would do well anywyere. But again, why should high acheving kids get the shaft in DCPS?[/quote]
