Oh, so what you are really saying is that AA children are not gifted. Crawl back under your rock.


Not the PP but I will weigh in here. It's not that AA children aren't gifted, it's that there's an overwhelming prevailing attitude in DC that G&T education is something for "entitled rich white kids" and thus lots of people oppose it tooth and nail - at the expense of the G&T AA students as well. Sad.

The reality is whoever posted the original question thinks their kid is gifted and needs such a program. I suspect the reason is because that parent is clearly not gifted or else they would have already known the answer...

Yes, there are stupid questions.

DCPS has historically been hostile to anything that smacks of "elitism."





Yes, and it's a pity that education is elitist. Good thing DC will never be a State in our children's lifetime!
