This is a highly limited context of your experience and situated when you went to school and where you went. I can only talk about the TAG program in my district and they use testing and are very strict about it.
Our child was referred by a teacher and we were encouraged to pursue it. There's more to say about the program and it's role in society, but these type of comments preclude a discussion on child needs and wealth.
They indict the system precisely because of how it distributes resources for the children of Haves and Have-Nots.
"I was told that my kid isn't like other kids" is always the bait at the end of these hooks. You're not segregating, you're elevating.
No real need to look back and ask why the broader structural issues of class size, teacher experience, and class room hours aren't addressed holistically. Maybe the kids you left behind just don't need those resources like your precious little muffin does.
First, fuck you.
You were not part of the discussion at to assume that we didn't discuss these issue at our table is disgusting. Second, where the fuck do you get off thinking that our district supports these programs materially and that a teacher recommendation was sufficient enough to place in the non-segregated TAG program.
I can't emphasize this enough. Fuck you
Clearly I am now.
Because its exhaustively well-documented.
Seems like your kid is in a healthy and loving household.
You don't know shit about my district or my family and you can fuck right off. You're a callous know it all and I have no time for you and your low stakes arm chair analysis.
