The Newsweek article stating that the high schools in CHCCS were at one time among the best in the nation was based on very narrow criteria and was not based on quality or variety of the programs offered. This is stated explicitly in the article itself.

An editor removed information about the lack of gifted services in the district, citing the existence of the Tier One program. That program has sadly been discontinued, so any reference to Tier One at this point is meaningless. The school system prides itself on the statement that gifted services are provided to all children in every classroom, which is seen on its webpage.Aigrette (talk) 21:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you show me where in the article it explicitly states "this is based on very narrow criteria and not the quality or variety of the programs at the school"? Or anything like that? Look at their FAQ: http://www.newsweek.com/id/39380 . Yes, it is true that using AP/IB/Cambridge participation only is very narrow. However, to emphasize that point is not NPOV; readers that are given the facts about how the rankings are tabulated can come to their own conclusions about these rankings. They don't need the opinion that, in effect, the rankings are bad (your statement clearly had negative connotations as it was originally written). We're in the business of stating facts not "truths". Furthermore, as to the Tier One program, I'm sorry that I didn't mention that its name had changed. It's now called LEAP and continues beyond the sphere of the original Tier One: it goes through middle school. Check it out: http://www2.chccs.k12.nc.us/education/components/docmgr/default.php?sectiondetailid=34394&sc_id=1183987870 . Furthermore, if you'd like, look at the 2007-2010 statements on gifted education. I don't see an emphasis on providing the same services to every class, an inefficient system: http://www2.chccs.k12.nc.us/education/components/docmgr/default.php?sectiondetailid=36776&fileitem=25129&catfilter=3818 (overall statement, 108 pages) and http://www2.chccs.k12.nc.us/education/components/docmgr/default.php?sectiondetailid=36776&fileitem=25130&catfilter=3818 (summary of said statement, 8 pages). Yes, it talks about "in-class flexible groupings", but it also spends a lot of time talking about out of class time with a gifted education specialist. Plus, the way you had described the gifted program it sounded as though CHCCS had just decided to give a gifted education to everyone, not special in-class pull out groups. If you can find citations for your earlier statements, then, by all means, add them back into the article. If you can't, don't. Tiger Khan (talk) 14:18, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
