[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lets be honest folks.  The gifted programs at all levels probably decrease diversity.  The BoE has prioritized increasing diversity for any school or program.  As an example  MCPS knows it would look bad if Asians are getting in at a very low acceptance rate I’m order to increase the acceptance rate of other groups.

What needs to be done is increase the number of programs and put them in more schools.  Take the top 20% like Fairfax Co does any give them enrichment.[/quote]

Yeah, why can’t each school have enrichment. Bus the kids who are gifted at their schools without enough students to form a gifted class.[/quote]

I noticed all the kids at TPMS who took Algebra in 6th apparently had access to AIM in 5th and came from the wealthier schools. DD who scored incredibly high at a young age would've easily qualified for Algebra at Frost but at our DCC school that isn't even an option. It does seem like there are too many haves and have-nots...[/quote]
