[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there GT-type programs in the home schools for kids who are not accepted to the centers, or who choose not to go?[/quote] NOT ANY MORE! Common core Curriculum 2.0 annihilated that and any teacher's ability to teach beyond the state mandated curriculum. MCPS only serves a tiny fraction of its gifted students, it's focus is on ESOL and bottom performers. Read the mission statement and keep paying your property taxes. [/quote] This is true. MCPS has explicitly stated that it wants to focus on closing the achievement gap. They are cutting funding to the AEI, which supports accelerated learning opportunities. Your child’s report card will say ‘Your child was provided enrichment in X subject.’ But that doesn’t really mean anything other than possibly a few extra worksheets. [/quote]
