[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish the District did start a gifted program like the kind that some poster want, if only to see the reactions of some of these parents when their kids don't test into it![/quote] They'd just do what upper-income parents in NYC do: send their 4yos for test prep so that they make the cut-off. The result? "Gifted" programs that are bursting at the seams with above-average rich white kids. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/education/in-one-school-students-are-divided-by-gifted-label-and-race.html http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/18/nyregion/new-york-city-schools-struggle-to-separate-the-gifted-from-the-just-well-prepared.html?_r=0 [/quote]
