[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:13--Perhaps you should ask your child's teacher or the principal of the school what they actually have in place for a child who is academically advanced. Is there a specific program that they have in place in certain subjects for such a child? Just because such a program may rely on in-class differentiation doesn't mean it's crap. It's one thing when the teacher is expected to reinvent the wheel it's quite another when he/she is given a whole fully-fleshed out program to work with precocious students. But again, you'd have to actually get some real facts from the school. And if they can't answer you for whatever reason then you should ask them who in the system you can contact regarding such qeustions. I bet if you did that you'd get better solutions or answers then just complaining on here. If that's your actual goal. (To get a solution.)[/quote]

I beg to differ.  If a program has 80% below proficient students in the same class as academically advanced students it is crap.  Until DCPS realizes this, it will continue to be crap in all of the high poverty schools, making it impossible for a child from those areas to succeed.[/quote]
