[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Up to almost half of elementary schools[/quote]

Why is the not available to all students? Is it reserved for the rich schools or something?[/quote]

No its not just for rich schools.  Its for gifted kids.  Implementation roll outs require time for a number of thing(ordering materials, sorting, training, best practices, evaluation, tweaks).  Add in the fact that this all impacts kids including likely some part of the Gifted population is being done while still dealing with learning recovery and mental health issue increases, and while benchmark is still in the implementation phases in person, 20 schools might actually be all they can handle.[/quote]

Our school doesn't have it. Wonder why some are excluded.[/quote]
It's probably not exclusion. MCPS is just picking a number of schools to roll out each year. Next year year it might be your school.[/quote]

By picking, they deny opportunities for other highly abled kids. That is the exact problem many talk about in this forum. MCPS leadership is a total failure.

MCPS prefers not to focus on engaging highly-abled kids.  That would directly contradict their stated goal of closing the achievement gap.

Encouraging high-performing kids to do even better just makes it harder to close the achievement gap.  [/quote]
