The answer isn't to get rid of gifted programming.  It is to stop offering a gifted program that is so inflexible.  I think it is time to get rid of the HGC model and offer real differentiation, in schools, for all kids who qualify.  [/quote]

Fine, but the demographics will still be inequitable.   Look at the MCPS study on compacted math.    Same message there.   Demographics not right, must be something wrong with the criteria.   [/quote]

Then they need to focus on the the K-3 years to get these kids ready for compacted math. I don't know why this is so hard for MCPS to understand.

The fact is the dumbing down hurts the bright kids from poor families the most. The upper middle class family will supplement if they find the curriculum inadequate. If the school offers a rigorous enough curriculum, then the kids from disadvantaged background can at least have a prayer to compete academically with the kids from privileged background. [/quote]
