[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really embarrassing. We're losing faith in DCPS EotP. You can only knock your head against a wall so many times without hurting yourself.[/quote]

DCPS does a lot but it has ZERO focus put on students who might be National Merit Semifinalists.

It appears that the mayor and chancellor care only about “closing the achievement gap”.
That means improving kids who got a 1-3 on the PARCC.  They have little interest in kids who are already doing well.

If you want to change that, tell the mayor and chancellor.  Or elect a new mayor.[/quote]

+1 but I wouldn’t even say they have little interest in kids who are doing well.  In EOTP, they have little interest in kids who are just at grade level and no interest in those above grade level.

What makes you think telling current leadership anything will change things? She has been mayor for years now, and it’s clear the city’s only agenda is closing the achievement gap.  You also need to realize that if you track and challenge the higher performing kids to their full potential, it would widen the achievement gap.

Unlikely there is going to be a new mayor elected.  Even if there was one, years and years before any change will make any difference.
