[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let us say if some one from CES with MAP-R and MAP-P 270's were to move to VA for 6th grade, what kind of program rigor can we expect? Due to the lottery system now, did not get into any of the regional or consortium programs. Local school is at the bottom of the ranking list and is not an option[/quote]

It would be equal to your home school but they do have some kids in Algebra in 6th.  Your situation is pretty common.  You just have to talk to them.  [/quote]

If it is pretty common, I wonder why don't MCPS fix this so that every child has an opportunity to reach their potential. Isn't that school's primary responsibility? Why introduce not so transparent lottery and deny opportunity for some highly abled students? 
I have to wonder if these decisions are politically driven. If that is the case, they will continue to disadvantage some kids to promote others.[/quote]

Lots of threads here on the topic.  It makes no sense not to have more gifted programs, especially in middle school.  There is no reason to call everything honors and have no real honors classes.  But, they aren’t going to fix this so if you want extra for your child, you’ll have to provide it.   It hurts regular kids as they are met having their needs met either.  [/quote]
