[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you move this conversation to the G/T thread just started, or begin another? I'm sure some Ludlow Taylor followers would appreciate it[/quote]

This LT follower thinks this is just the conversation we should be having.

The neighborhood community is loaded with braniac parents of tiny tots who plan to shut Ludlow mainly because they have no reason to believe that their children will be challenged academically there, or fit in socially, after prek 4.

What other conversation should we be having?  The one about renovating the building, or getting Cobbs canned, or grim PTA politics?  All old hat.  At least a conversation about stepping up challenge for advanced learners/gifted kids is a new spin on the inappropriateness of LT's school culture for the gentrifiers (read the majority of in-boundary parents).

Oh, I forgot, we should just shut up and pay hefty property taxes to support a school for which mediocrity would be a lofty goal, without being able to send our children there with enthusiasm past age 5.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that you should shut up, I just thought it was counterproductive to have two parallel discussions about advanced learners going on at the same time. [/quote]
