[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep hearing how only a small fraction (3%?) of the 30%+ kids who test/qualify for "gifted" status actually get into a gifted center. What happens to the 27+% of kids who have the academic ability and interest to work at this level but there isn't space? Is MCPS really just free childcare for them? If these kids are clustering in schools and already make up a 1/3 of a population, why don't they just have a gifted section in the home school? If any kids had a hard time with the "gifted" curriculum they could more easily switch to a regular classroom without transferring schools. The county would save money in busing fewer kids all over the place. [/quote] I am confused about what you want. Separate gifted classes in the home schools?[/quote]
