[quote=Anonymous]Prior to opening the local CES, PBES completely dominated the regional one because it has so many high-flyers compared to the other schools in the area. I suspect half the reason the county did this was to create more opportunities for students at the other nearby schools.

Although I feel for the poster whose child feels excluded, I have spoken with several neighborhood parents whose children are not in the CES and had very different and positive experiences.

One parent was happy their bright child wasn’t in the program because they felt they lacked the maturity to handle the rigorous workload and would get discouraged.

The other parent has a bright articulate child but had admittedly left their child’s education entirely to MCPS. Before the school year began they expressed some misgivings but when I asked them about it a few months ago they felt the school had done an excellent job of creating a broader inclusive community. They said their earlier fears weren’t warranted.

In both cases, the parents were fine with this outcome and happy with the school. I guess it goes to show you can't please everyone and that's especially true with pretty much everything MCPS does.[/quote]
