[quote=Anonymous][quote]I have a child that is more motivated than they are bright (DC is smart enough but her work ethic is greater than her intelligence.) and a school that caters to that kind of student would be a better fit.[/quote] This is the type of kid that will not do well with the new MCPS system. Achievement is not recognized,rewarded or encouraged at all. If your child is gifted you can escape to the GT center and the gifted kids can get ES grades from time to time. Your child will figure out quickly that no matter how hard she works she will get the same "P" grade as if she put forth no effort at all. For kids that are more into sports or social activities, this is great. Its also great for students who struggle because they never know that they are at the bottom of the class. For kids with a strong work ethic it is very demoralizing. [/quote]
