Please don't try to make this into something that it isn't it's just a freaking lottery everyone knows exactly how those work there's no mystery

Do you think that MCPS would allow for a chance outcome where girls were not evenly represented? Not likely right? So there is in fact information that is not publicly disclosed that would be important for people to know.

My kids CES class is five boys and 22 girls or something like that. So what was your point again?

That's because a lot of boys decline invitations to CES, includng mine, because it's writing heavy and the math curriculum is the same as at home school.

These boy stereotypes are just hilariously wrong.

We don't know any boys who declined the CES. This is for 5th. The one family we know who declined has a girl and our child's CES has slightly more boys than girls but still about a 50-50 split. Another poster said parents are more likely to send their non-sporty boys to the CES and again I am thinking what are you talking about. My child's class is full of boys who play high level travel sports. Lots of type A personalities that do well in academics and other fields. You see the same for the girls. So okay this is 4th and 5th grade so take the idea of high level with a grain of salt but the idea that the CESes are full of geeky and awkward boys is plain wrong. Are you saying this because it makes you feel better that your child did not get a spot or wasn't in the pool?

You need to go back and reread it. I said we declined invitation to CES for DS. What makes you think you know the makeup and culture of all CES programs in MoCo? I can't speak for the PP who talked about gifted boys who are looking for a tribe, but you need to check yourself.

I’m the poster that you are responding to and the reason for the imbalance is because it’s a lottery. There was no movement in the waitlist. Everyone who got a place accepted. There’s was no switching of schools so it was a no brainer.
