[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the point is that MCPS is claiming that under C 2.0 they will meet the needs on the not gifted kids--the ~35% in the regular classroom. They also seem to be saying these not gifted kids were not learning--they were being pushed ahead w/o learning well.[/quote] I think you are right that that is what MCPS is saying. The problem is that they have done virtually nothing to support that claim. From what I've seen and heard, MCPS wants to denigrate parents who believe their kids need more substance than 2.0 will provide. Instead of demonstrating that those parents fears are unfounded (if that is their position), MCPS uses some facile talking-points about how too many kids were accelerated in the past. I'm concerned about 2.0, but I'm open to MCPS's case. MCPS simply hasn't presented a compelling case yet. [/quote] Have you openly asked MCPS to present its case, while clearly citing your concerns?
