[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is a self contained classroom? Asking as an upcoming Brent in-bounds family. [/quote] My understanding is that it’s a special ed classroom for kids who can’t be in a mainstream classroom. I’ve never seen it used in the gifted context like PP does above. But agree with the PP’s premise. More than 1/3 of last year’s Brent 4th got 5s on the math cape. [b]You can’t expect all those parents to be totally fine with their kids being kids being thrown into classes where 90% of the kids are not at grade level. [/b]The school would need to lead with differentiation to attract many Brent families. [/quote] Yes - it would be criminal to do that, but plenty of equity advocates would love to see it.[/quote]
