Do you think Chinese families who live in Chinatown pick 130 and 124 as their first choice for g&t? [ Reply | More

someone posted on insideschools that they are happily going to send their child there. ub, as you know, is not representative of every family that has a child going into a g&t program in the fall. [ Reply | More

I know ps 130 well, I teach for a residency arts program there. The g & t classes are great. I only have first hand experience w/ the 4th grade and there are about 6 or so non-Asian kids this year. And the teachers (esp. the 4th grade g & t) are fantastic. I would def send my non-Asian child there or PS 124, where I have taught also. [ Reply | More

those are the schools that are seemingly most favored on this board, yes. do a search of ps 130 or ps 124 on this board. you will find posts on these schools. [ Reply | More

i don't know how diverse the new g&t class will be there, but, if it is like ps 124, my guess is that it will be diverse, for it will draw from outside the community it serves, namely chinatown. [ Reply | More

we toured last yr. principal really looking to add white families-is disappointed that as neighborhood changes, families sending kids elsewhere. they, as of last fall's k class, still took variances for kids from outer boroughs to fill spaces in gen ed and g&t. we were impressed overall-pleasantly surprised. we know families there who have had mixed experiences but people are pretty happy [ Reply | More

Your fact are not correct. As of last year, no variances allowed for G&T or gened. Also not true that principal is "looking to add white families." She has no jurisdiction over this as zoning and G&T acceptances are DOE-based. She of course wants everyone in zone to go to her school but she really can't do anything about that other than appeal to the white families by making the curriculum more progressive. [ Reply | More
