[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't call it GT because it isn't. SEM is the School-wide Enrichment Model and can be great. We are lucky to have it at our school. But it is intended as enrichment for all the students at a school, gifted/advanced or not.  It is not a GT program.

The truth is any GT student in DCPS is at the mercy of the people who run their particular school. If your principal wants to and has the resources to go the extra mile, then the kids at that school will get advanced work. There is no city-wide program like the ones in surrounding counties where these kids, be they black, white, brown or purple, can have an opportunity work up to their greatest potential with a planned, thoughtful curriculum over an extended period.[/quote]

They really need to fix this.  That's one of the main reasons why there's so much bleed-off to charters and privates.[/quote]

EVERYONE knows this including the dimwits in central office. But, there is a fear that any tracking, test in etc would lead to classes that would be predominately white, therefore this is a no-go in DC. Never gonna happen unless there is a change in leadership or high income kids reach a tipping point in school age population.   [/quote]
