[quote=Anonymous]The cognitive dissonance involved in having test-in high schools in DCPS but no test-in options at lower grades is amazing. So, it's magically okay at 9th grade to offer programs of particular interest to the highest-achieving students but dangerous and wrong-headed at 8th? Or 6th? Or 2nd? One could argue that it's actually much more inclusive to do so at the younger elementary grades when the effects of the achievement gap are less pronounced and gifted kids of all background could be ID's and supported early on. Wake up, DCPS. If you want to continue hemorrhaging those kids to Charters, then great, by all means, proceed. Want to capture those families and keep them in neighborhood schools? Start serving them in a rich, meaningful way. [/quote]
