[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't follow all the digressions in this thread.  But speaking about why people are more obsessed with HGC, has anyone mentioned that the current state of MCPS with their 2.0 curriculum could possibly be the culprit?  I don't ever remember this being such an issue when my son was in MCPS elementary school...he is in 9th grade now (private school).  Perhaps parents are so dissatisfied with the current state of affairs and more are hoping to get into the HGC program...hence all the discussion.[/quote]

Exactly!  Normally I wouldn't have bothered with HGC, but I can't stand this P system.  It's teaching my child to do the minimum and get lazy.  No incentive to work harder - the teachers don't give enough "ES Opportunities" for a child to actually get an ES on the report card.  Kids who easily get Ps are ignored.  MCPS is teaching to the bottom.  80% of the teacher's time goes to the bottom few.   Luckily, DC got into HGC for next year.  I am interested to see how it feels for DC to be in a classroom of peers for the first time...[/quote]
