[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Junior Great Books are known for being used in gifted/talented programs, particularly gifted pull-outs. And the basis for this claim is in part due to a Google search--it's used in Prince George's County Public Schools and Montgomery County Public Schools for that reason. I didn't see evidence of it from the JGB website itself but from seeing what other school districts say they use it for when I did a Google search. [/quote]

OK JGB "is known to be used in gifted/talented programs".  That doesn't mean JGB was "designed" for gifted and talented.

Sounds like a way to exclude other people's children from getting JGB and make parents who think their children are gifted/talented feel good. Fair enough.[/quote]

I was waiting for this response. God forbid, any child be more intellectually advanced than another child. we must keep everything equal--therefore at the lowest level possible so no one gets their feelings hurt.  So not only can we not have gifted and talented classes, apparently we aren't supposed even have a slightly more advanced reading group.  I swear living in DC is turning me into a republican. This liberal feel good crap is tiresome.[/quote]

That's total nonsense.  In DCPS students are grouped into guided reading groups according to reading level.[/quote]
