[quote=Anonymous]MCPS just sent out a pointless survey to parents of 4th-7th graders (presumably down to 4th grade because they will be the 9th graders the first year the programs are 100% regional and enrolling all grades.)  It collects demographic info, has a brief description of some of the program categories, and then asks "How would you rate your child’s interest in the following broad areas of study?", lists the 5 high-level categories like Medical Science/Healthcare, STEM, and Leadership and Public Service, and then you can check Very Interested, Somewhat Interested, Not Interested, and Need More Information.

That's it.  That's all they're asking.  You would think they would want to try to get some useful information to help them figure what to expect as they head into the first year of implementation (like which programs at which schools are likely to have far fewer applicants than they have penciled in), but this seems almost intentionally designed to be useless (probably just incompetence, though.)

They do have a "What questions or concerns do you have about the proposed high school program options?" box at the end, in case you want to shout into the abyss in hopes that it might convince anyone to handle any of this any better...[/quote]
