[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]So Catania didn't even address the desire/need for either test in classes/tracks or GT programs?[/quote] Do you know whether he was asked about such a thing? [/quote] I listened in on his small group talks for over an hour, during which he was asked about the desire/need for test-in classes several times, by different parents. He dodged these questions with palaver about "strengthening neighborhood programs" and doing more to "recognize great teachers and effective school leaders." I heard him praise the S-H "honors" classes (grade-level classes by any standard). I also heard him say that the only recommendation for a test-in program is in Ward 7, which he supports. This is not new, right? He wouldn't talk about the achievement gap, or the fact that in-boundary families largely avoid half the Hill K-12 programs, even though 90% of the parents who turned out were white or Asian/high SES.
