[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][ Even if DCPS and Charters were to launch G&T programs here, imagine the weeping and gnashing of teeth when parents find out their kid didn't make the cut. [/quote] Bingo!! You nailed it.[/quote] Yes, there would be some angst, but not enough to sink the programs. Most parents would accept that everybody can't make the traveling baseball team, gets to play first violin, gets the lead part in every play auditioned for, or gets picked for every GT class. In the burbs, kids can try to test into GT classes at least once a year. What happens is that parents with kids who seem likely to benefit channel their energy into making sure that their kids are prepped for the tests. How horrible is that? I don't hear parents complaining that their kid couldn't test into 6th grade algebra at BASIS. Setting high standards for kids who can meet them isn't the problem here. [/quote]
