[quote=Anonymous]But there are no DCPS-sanctioned GT programs. The city doesn't pay for them, doesn't screen kids for giftedness, doesn't have a policy of grouping advanced kids in pullout groups or their own classes, doesn't train teachers to teach gifted kids and hasn't had the DC City Council pass a law on gifted education (both VA and MD passed such laws decades ago). The best the parent of a gifted child can do in DCPS or DC charter is buy or rent in-boundary for a school without enough high SES families to work to create a home-grown pseudo GT program with PTA funding and support, e.g. at Murch and Brent. Alternatively, language immersion programs function as de facto gifted programs. All of the above would remain true if one gifted kid (at least by VA or MD standards) were enrolled at LT, or 10, or 100.... [/quote]
