[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very bright kids can be damaged by not being challenged enough and by not getting an education that addresses their needs. [b]How do we help those kids while avoiding a lot of the problems such as elitism noted in the thread[/b]? [/quote] Falls Church City, Arlington, and Montgomery all manage to differentiate learning for exceptional kids without [b]labelling and segregating them at a very young age[/b] as the Fairfax Schools do. As an earlier poster mentioned, kids grow at different ages. The way Fairfax does this through 2nd grade tracking through 6th grades creates a class system within the schools and is horribly damaging both to the kids who are left behind as "not so smart" as well as kids who may end up with an inflated sense of "smartness". Mindblowing to me that it continues.[/quote] MoCo does. LoCo does. APS parents either like or dislike the push-in model, depending upon how each school implements it. [/quote]
