Perensky Challenge

As a teacher, this is such a great article. As a mother who has to get 3 kids into college, it would be my nightmare. I believe that we are not innovative and confident enough as classroom teachers to let every child out into this type of school. These programs are usually offered to my students- the gifted student. The student that has compacted out of all grade level skills and can take his thinking into higher order Blooms. That way when they take the NJASK they will still score in advanced profiecient. I would think that the child with learning disabilities or the slower, concrete thinker would not be able to partake in an education where they moved in abstract areas. It would take a very advanced school/district that didnt care about test scores to take this and try it.
