[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is report is from some community group back from 2002. I don't agree with the recommendations to shut down GT centers or advanced instruction to address the issue. I do think the observations and feelings of those that believe GT centers exclude them are very real and aligned with the philosophies that are now guiding MCPS decisions.

I don't see any recommendations to shut down the HGCs or to shut down advanced instruction. The report is talking about GT classes WITHIN the schools. Also, it says that tracking leads to inequitable access to a good education, especially among poor and minority children. There's no legitimate arguing with this. It's a fact.

In any case, I am not sure how a report from a community group in 2002 is relevant to whether or not Starr wants to abolish test-in magnet programs in 2014. Not to mention that even if Starr did want to abolish test-in magnet programs, he couldn't do it. It's politically impossible. It won't happen.[/quote]
