[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS should stop wasting money on surveys and contractors and start focusing on properly educating all the kids who meet the parameters for CES/enrichment/magnet schools.  Or perhaps MCPS needs to also ask why so many kids qualify for these enhancement programs? Maybe educational standards need to go up. These lotteries are ridiculous.[/quote]

Agreed.  [/quote]

+1 Maybe raise the bar to top 2 percent, the way CTY does, to enter the lottery, and moderate or high FARMs can be locally normed.[/quote]

Maybe we could actually dedicate money and resources to expanding the enriched studies program so that every kid who qualifies can access that instruction.[/quote]

I have older kids and there have always been more students qualified than they have space for. If kids qualify, they should be able to be in these programs. If you think you are frustrated now, just wait until middle school when they offer even fewer spots in special programs.[/quote]

PP here, and oh, don't worry - I have an older kid who got similarly hosed by the magnet lottery.  Just full of warm fuzzies for MCPS at the moment.[/quote]
