[quote=Anonymous]agree wtih 11:25.  If my kid can't do the work, I don't want them to just be passed along year after year.  I am familiar with gifted classes as I was tracked in them growing up.  As I stated earlier, I have no idea if my kid is gifted or will need remediation etc.  I know that as a concerned parent I will do whatever it takes to get my kid the help and education they need.  Thats the difference.  If my kid is years behind, I don't expect the teacher to slow the class down to manage my kid. thats not fair to other kids.  Again, at a minimum DCPS needs classes to be taught at grade level.   How is it helping a kid to keep promoting them year after year?  We get a lot of the "DC Summer Youth" teens in our office for work every summer.  It would shock you if you could see what I see.  17 year olds who can't write basic sentences, almost no reading comprehension. And yet everyone celebrates them graduating.  THey aren't even prepared for UDC. So at the end of the day, the slower kids aren't learning and the faster kids aren't learning anything new.  [/quote]
