Time to put up or shut up. NOW.
1. Explain why DC should take money away from other kids and give it to your kid. 
2. Solve all the concerns about creating elite enclaves.

If you can't/won't answer these questions, you need to move your selfish, entitled butt to the burbs and get DC tested for GT there.[/quote]

Talk about sleazy debating, that's a big fat red herring.

Nobody ever said anything about taking money away from other kids.  No money has to be taken away from other kids in order to have a G&T program.  The schools in the burbs manage to offer G&T and do so spending LESS per student than DCPS.  End the gross financial mismanagement at DCPS and there's more than enough money to meet the needs of ALL students.

You STILL haven't answered the question about where DC is going to find the money to provide special services to your kid. Please answer it.

How is it that you don't know that MoCo and VA have some of the richest counties in the entire USA? DC is not rich. Also, DC has many mire struggling students than the burbs, so while I agree there's some mismanagement, this is not the only reason for higher per-kid spending in DC. Also, most people don't find the arguments that go, "we can balance the budget just by cutting waste and fraud and stopping the purchase of $500 toilet seats" very convincing.

It should be obvious to you that you can't compare budgets between all these school districts.[/quote]
