[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why are people who want their kids in pathway schools posting in this thread? To call other people's kids "below average students"? Face it, if your kid was GT, he or she would be in the GT class. Get past it and go back to your own thread. Don't forget to wear green at the next BOE meeting.[/quote]

I believe, as many other posters, MCPS works quite well for below average (perhaps even average --by American standards).  Do you disagree? 
 
 
[/quote]I think MCPS does a good job overall.  It is a large district with a very diverse population with varying needs.  I think they do very well for GT children.  The only people I hear complaining are the parents of students who were not selected for one of the GT centers.

I'm among the people who don't think homework is needed for children in k-3 grades.  I think spending time reading with your child is more effective.

I'm also among the people who are tired of the BOE and county officials having to spend so much time dealing with a vocal minority.  So I'm willing to throw my lot in with that group.  Let's create schools or classes to satisfy the parents of the children that almost got into the GT centers.  Let those parents start a charter school for the almost gifted.[/quote]
