[quote=Anonymous]MCPS only looks at grade for magnet applications, not age. But, this post brings up an issue I have with the TPES primary magnet. When you look at 5 and 6 year olds, a lot of their abilities are developmentally determined, and not an indication that they are gifted. Some kids just learn to read earlier than others for example, but it doesn't mean they are gifted in any way. I know several kids who attended the TPES magnet, and by third or fourth grade, they were just regular, average students. Don't assume that a child who gets into the TPES magnet will be a good candidate for an HGC in 4th grade.[/quote]
