DP.  So instead of a two-track system there would be a three-track system of base schools that switch subjects, center schools for Level III kids, and central center schools for the "real" Level IV kids.  And that sounds better to you?[/quote]

How did you get that?  For the majority of FCPS schools, the kids would remain at their base schools and take advanced classes by subject, just as they do now for math.  Only the exceptionally advanced would attend the center, just like in the old G/T model.  The only concession here is for the high FARMS schools that don't have enough advanced kids to offer advanced classes, and thus might need to still send moderately advanced kids to the center.

It really shouldn't be about a label at all.  The system should only be concerned with providing an appropriate educational level to each kid in each subject, so no kids are either struggling or are so advanced that they're learning nothing.  The only reason centers should exist at all is to group kids who are so advanced that an appropriate class level wouldn't have enough students to support it at the base school.  [/quote]

From my non-McLean-non-high-FARMS perspective, that's how the current system works.  But there are many posters on this forum who hate the current system and want to blow it all up, including you.  We'll agree to disagree.  [/quote]
