Your myopia isn't a ray of sunshine either.  I'm not white and grew up poor in NYC, where I was served by stellar GT programs from K-12, enabling me to attend an Ivy on massive fi aid. Not much hope for the likes of me in DCPS.

At Brent, the PTA pays for a seriously good after-school tutoring program for kids who struggle, head and shoulders above what DCPS would have provided. The snob bubble has its uses.

Few families in our neighborhood are "rich."  Most public school parents work for Uncle Sam or other outfits which don't pay terribly well. The crux of the problem is a vast high SES-low SES achievement/education gap in a poorly run city, with [b]a school system that doesn't look out for ES and MS advanced learners across the socio-economic spectrum.[/b] As a New Yorker, I find this "attitude" on the part of DCPS' leadership depressing.[/quote]

Can you expand on this?  
I'm not very well informed about ES and MS programs for kids who are doing well.  Do many DCPS schools have options to challenge kids who are doing well?[/quote]
