[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The programs are awesome because they do not include every kid whose mom thinks they are gifted. Faifax has a program which includes about 20% of the kids and people complain it is pretty watered down. Can't have it both ways.[/quote] So open up the magnet programs for the top 5 percent of kids...it seems like the enriched studies and MS and HS programs rejects plenty of 98 and even 99 percentile kids. [/quote] Because they are for 1% kids. Not for 5%. Not enough funding and space for those while there are lost of bottom %20 kids to bring up. [/quote] They are not even for top 1% anymore. They are for students who don't have "peer cohorts" in their home schools. Maybe except for HS, but who knows if they start changing HS admissions, too.[/quote]
