[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What genuinely surprises me about this discussion, and about the whole MoCo system, is how many different interpretations there are of the GT process, etc.  One would think MCPS would post online clear, transparent descriptions of every GT and magnet program and the process for entering it, as well as what that program actually consists of in terms of instruction.  The same is true for differentiation of kids who are above grade level.  So one might expect MCPS to standardize the services available for those kids and post online a clear policy and description. One might also expect a consistent policy about above-grade-level instruction across schools.  From the posts on this forum, it seems there may be variation across schools on this point.  [/quote]

Where can I find the minutes of GTA meetings?  It's fine and dandy to say we need to organize.  But we need to be careful who we associater ourselves with.  Why didn't MCPS meet with the GTA?  What is the position of GTA on the label?  What is the position of the GTA on GT identification?

I used to be part of this organization but no more.  The same people are stuck on that long after their kids are gone and promote their old views.  Why doesn't the GTA poster use his/her real name?[/quote]

I do not know who the GTA poster you are referring to. I am the one who posted about organized advocacy. I am not from GTA. I am as anonymous as you are. I am voicing my opinion only. I do not worry too much about who started a a movement, I only care about what the movement about. So, I support the current movement started by GTA to challenge every child (that includes mine who are at 97-98%tile). [/quote]

Where does the GTA acknowledge support for the child at "97-98%tile?"  Did you read about the challenge every child petition? I just want to know where the GTA acknowledges what they call GT?[/quote]
