[quote=Anonymous]Whatever the case, it's worth considering that with diverse DC elementary schools like YY and Brent already tracking in higher grades (via differentiation in separate classrooms), middle schools catering to middle-class families, like Deal and Basis, will surely come under steadily increasing pressure to follow suit beyond math. The DCI thread that's been going for nearly a year includes posts on the subject. I draw a parallel to the implementation of Curriculum 2.0 controversy in MoCo where kids who have already been accelerated in ES generally no longer are, leading to a political backlash this election cycle, with parents of advanced learners organizing to back candidates who favor more support for gifted kids. Easy to imagine a similar grassroots campaign on the part of District middle school parents. [/quote]
