Middle school sports are cut sports. So they make a sports “clique” but won’t for academics.

Classroom teachers don’t give a rats hat about gifted students; there is no incentives for those “easy” kids to do even better or be challenged, they only care about the underperforming because the testing incentives them (and punishes them) if their test scores don’t match standards. Maybe you’ll have a great classroom teacher, but the incentives are still not there. The JOB of the gifted teacher IS aligned with challenging the “easy” students. I actually don’t know how they are evaluated, but I know it’s not SOL scores.  I guess the nuances of how incentives drive teacher behavior and performance is not obvious, I’ll give you a pass for missing that. [/quote]

I am hoping so very hard that you have left APS, whose teachers deserve better parents than you.

Also, middle school has tracking by ability, so there's your "cut sport" analogy. [/quote]
The first quoted poster is crazy.  Most middle school sports are no cut -- even the ones that have try outs unless its soccer or basketball take everyone who tries out.  [/quote]
