[b]So how come Fairfax can do it for 20%. [/b]

Because they don’t spend a ton of the school budget on overhead on tests, policies, applications, paying people to read applications,  etc...  They also don’t bus the kids all over their gigantic county like we do. Another huge waste of money and normalcy.

Only MCPS knkws how to waste money AND not give enough programs to kids that need enrichment.

We all know the top 1%, 5% or 15% are all spoon fed tutors and testing from tiger mommies day 1. Why give them a platform to go crazy competing for these few spots.  They will STILL “enrich” them a5 home whether the material is watered down or not.

Let the teachers pick like Fairfax does. My school did the same thing. Used standardized testing scores, grades, and teacher references.  [/quote]

In Fairfax everybody complains bitterly about watered-down programs. teacher favoritism, and parent pushing. AAP in FCPS has its own forum on DCUM because the rest of the FCPS couldn't stand it.[/quote]
