[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. [b]What happens to the 27+% of kids who have the academic ability and interest to work at this level [/b]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] At what level? The HGC level? The 30% who test as gifted (MCPS terminology) cannot work at the HGC level. That is not what the designation means.[/quote]
