Seattle Public Schools is dismantling its gifted and talented program, which administrators argued was oversaturated with white and Asian students, in favor of a more “inclusive, equitable and culturally sensitive” program.
The district began phasing out its Highly Capable Cohort schools and classrooms for advanced students in the 2021-22 school year due to racial inequities, the school district notes.
The program will completely cease to exist by the 2027-28 school year, with a new enrichment-for-all model available in every school by the 2024-25 school year.
“The program is not going away, it’s getting better,” school officials said on the district website.

You’d be surprised how many don’t.
PS at boarding school we had a study hall each day so no one missed doing their homework One time a week, we wrote a letter home starting in 2nd grade. By the time i was in 7th I could write a 2-3 page letter like an adult. None of this happens at day school, catholic or otherwise.
Like you, I was gifted in reading. At the age of three, I was reading newspapers. By the age of six, I was reading Edgar Allen Poe, Stephen King and even Harlequin Romances.
In third and fourth grades, we had separate reading groups. The groups were arranged by reading ability. I was always in the “gifted” group, which usually consisted of three or four students. The books or , as we called them, “Readers” were at least two grades ahead of the rest of the class.
Unfortunately, my math skills were nonexistent.
Not very many. Most (around 70%) are automatic Dem voters - go with the flow.
Uh Oh.
May that 70% continue to decrease and decrease and decrease. May that 30% continue to increase!
Seattle is a cesspool of evil, not surprised by this at all.
Nope - not Trump’s area.
It is the Seattle PARENTS job!
(After, of course, the US Department of Indoctrination is abolished.)
So when are they shutting down basketball and football because there aren’t enough white kids playing?
