[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the semi-private school a possible solution for GT education? I don't seem much discussion here. Also overheard that it is hard to get the approval from MCPS. [/quote]

I wish.

[b]More competition that doesn’t cost $40k/year [/b]would be a good kick in the pants to MCPS. Although I doubt it would start serving those students well or to potential.[/quote]

MCPS knows middle class and lower SES families have no choice, and so they really don't care what goes on.  You can tell by the (lack of) leadership.  People in charge earn their salaries, whether there is a curriculum or not.  People in Central Office take home their paychecks, no matter how many kids are victims of sex abuse.  People in admin get their paychecks, even if their staff is miserable.  [/quote]

Low income and lower middle income can get financial aid so they may have more choices than solid middle to upper  middle that make enough to live comfortably but not enough to pay more than $10-15 a year for 1-2 kids.[/quote]
