[quote=Anonymous]Most of the above reactions seem over the top to me when all the PP who sparked the debate seems to have argued was that it's next to impossible to provide challenge for a mostly high-SES IB population in the absence of DCPS-sponsored G/T programs and other targetted support for advanced learners.

Currently, the only way for the challenge to come seems to be for high-SES, mostly white, families to band together in schools like Brent, and WotP, which isn't what most parents want to see.   The argument runs that if you want true socioeconomic/racial diversity, you need to cater to a variety of kids, not just those who are behind smack in the middle of the Bell Curve, giving them focused DC-CAS prep at the expense of advanced learners.

Seems that you guys are shadow boxing, looking for demons in the parent crowd when none exist. Think about it, the real villain is DCPS backed up by cowardly DC pols.  The good think about DCUM is that posters can say what they really think, vs. what sounds good at a Brent community event, or at a PTA meeting.
