[quote=Anonymous]Here is the FAQ everyone should read/memorize and remember during the NEXT BOE election

[b]Has the program itself changed as a result of the new screening process for the Science, math,
computer science program[/b]?

We still have many top math students in our new sixth grade class, and we are seeing a [u]greater diversity in ability[/u]. This is an important opportunity for highly-able students to be able to step up into a more rigorous curriculum. What has changed is not the rigor of the program or our expectations of students. What has changed is instruction and what the teachers need to do. Our teachers are expected to provide supports and scaffolding to help all magnet students attain the level of mastery of students working at a high level in mathematics.

[quote=Anonymous]New to MCPS with elementary age kids, read some post here, which makes very confused...

1. Is the magnet program a kind of continued program of enriched study program?- it seems- at leave (much) less than 50% of CES kids get in to the magnet program of middle school.

2. Will the CES improve the student ability of learning, so that they should be more competitive than the kids who hadn't take the ESP, in general.

3. Put the outlier of upper 90% cohort and the outlier of lower 90% cohort together to make a group... I feels like something is not quite make sense?

4. what does the ratio of the reginal seats look like: elementary: middle school: high school[/quote][/quote]
