[quote=Anonymous]"Show me how anyone is "ignoring the needs of the smartest and highest-achieving kids." The very fact that DC doesn't have any gifted and talented programs is the clearest evidence of this. Every other jurisdiction around us does. Some states have state-wide programs. But DC just sticks its head in the sand and ignores the educational needs of the gifted. And yes, there are plenty of gifted low income kids being screwed over by this policy. This isn't a black/white or rich/poor thing. When we have a one-size-fits-all approach that teaches to the lowest ability levels, we fail to enrich those kids who could do so much more. [/quote]
