[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  My point is that kids who did not get admitted into Takoma or Eastern were told there is an "enriched" program at their home middle school for the highly abled cohort.  Yes, our middle school is the one that made the decision.  It is a Middle School issue because central office made certain decisions but did not provide the proper curriculum for the highly abled kids.  The fact that this is the second year into this supposedly "enriched magnet" program, and we are already seeing the MS admitting EVERYTHING student into the "magnet social studies" class underscores the lack of tailoring it to the cohort.  For math, all they did is took away the IM and replaced it with the name AIM and then offered Math 6.

MCPS can't speak out both side of their mouths.  If they want to bring an enriched program and differentiated it for the highly cohort like they said they would, then do it properly![/quote]
OTOH as one poster keeps telling us, at least your child does not have to ride a bus to the magnet program /s
Seriously though, I am sorry.  
I think the only solution if MCPS is determined to continue with the cohort criteria is to open a set of middle school magnets in the Western part of the county.  Perhaps in North Bethesda.[/quote]

I think a middle school magnet at N Bethesda would be great as they already have a GT/LD program.  Those GT/LD kids are NOT getting any advanced education - just what the school offers all students.  They would really benefit from an opportunity to be in advanced class with other GT cohort. [/quote]
