[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised to see the article said that outside testing was used to qualify.  I did not think this was true.[/quote]

It was just one of the many ways wealthier parents could game the system in past years.[/quote]

the prior system sounds ridiculous.  parent recommendations and teacher recommendations needed to qualify instead of universal screening.[/quote]

So far I never see anyone on DCUM or in reality opposes the universal screening. All fights focuses on the ultimate selection process and result which remains in complete darkness.[/quote]

+1  Universal testing is not the problem, only the "peer cohort" criteria excluding many top-scoring kids, which has no transparency.[/quote]
+1
Applaud universal testing.
Oppose the peer cohort criteria which might end up mostly benefiting UMC families in the DCC/NEC at the expense of kids in the western part of the county.
Also want MCPS to release the median test scores of accepted and rejected applicants for each middle school cluster.[/quote]
