[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. The mostly low SES children who are already there won't necessarily be replaced by other low SES kids as they age out. To serve the mostly high SES neighborhood well, LT needs to start offering more of the sort of programming appealing to local parents. Pullout groups for advanced learners fits the bill. No brainer. [/quote] The thing is, LT is already serving advanced learners well. Differentiation seems to be working at LT. It doesn't make any sense to create & implement an unnecessary G&T/pullout program just to pacify parents who refuse to believe -- on the basis of nothing, not evidence or experience -- that the school can't serve their kids b/c their kids are white & high SES. I suspect one reason the whole G&T/pullout question is a non-starter is because black administrators (in schools & at central office) interpret white requests for those programs as a request for segregation within schools, and take umbrage.[/quote]
