But can they? with all the handouts going on in MoCo and concentrated low income households, I am not sure. My house is almost 1mil in TP, most of the kids families at my sons school (PBES) can’t afford that. There can be huge cultural difference separated by just a few blocks.

Different kids need different classes, this has always been the case. Remedial classes help low performance kids, it isn’t fair to either side to make the classes average and stick everyone in there. To fast for the kids lagging and too slow for the bright kids, who do you think the teacher will ignore when they have to chose? I fully understand that some of the obstacles come from things outside the kids control but that doesn’t really matter. At some point someone will tell them they didn’t make the cut.

Me wishing my kids are around the other top kids isn’t wishing bad for the other kids. I hope everyone gets the help they need not the help some politically sensitive person thinks has better optics [/quote]

We all hope everyone gets the help they need. Rather than, for example, assuming that white middle-class kids need gifted classes and black and Hispanic kids need remedial classes.[/quote]
