[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's pretty well-established that most G/T programs are not based on actual gifts/intelligence of the kids, but instead become mechanisms to track privileged kids. The biggest influence about whether a kid is characterized as gifted is the SES of the parents. So most school systems are moving away from this model to avoid class and race-based tracking inequities.[/quote]

Well, Watkins refuses any kind of pull-outs or G/T, and so many of the brighter kids leave because they tire of looking at the ceiling.  So what something positive did you accomplish by making the neighborhood move?   :? [/quote]

Watkins DOES indeed pull some high performing students out in grades 2-5 to participate in the DCPS Advanced Readers Extension (DARE) program. The assistant principal there, Ms. Drumm oversees it. If you have questions contact her by email or phone. [/quote]

Seriously called DARE?[/quote]

I think it was named by the same people who created Bowser's "Vision Zero"![/quote]
