[quote=Anonymous]The number of kids is a given, it's statistics and demographics, the math will show there are more than enough kids in DC for it to matter - and nobody is going to ever win that one based solely on their opinion. As for the money - plenty of school districts that have less to spend per student than DC manage to provide G&T programs without sacrificing elsewhere, they do just fine. This isn't just some pie-in-the-sky discussion of generalities here, we have elected officials who need to start answering for why it is that, compared to other districts all around the country, we DC taxpayers get so much less for our dollar. A lot of the money never even reaches the schools - there are people getting rich and fat by intercepting the money before it even gets to where it's needed, and anyone who's sitting around making excuses and deflecting from that, whining that we don't have the money to do this or that is part of the problem.[/quote]
