[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% CES. They are eliminating ELC. It will be much better at CES. [/quote]

OP here. Our school has been doing CKLA this year, and it seems fine. [/quote]
If everything seems fine, then go ahead and decline. You’d know if your kid really needed the CES. My kid was incredibly frustrated by school in third grade, to the point that they were angry that I hadn’t tried to see if they could skip a grade back when they were in kindergarten (which I don’t believe MCPS would even have allowed because their birthday is nowhere near the cutoff). My kid needed something to change. DC also did magnet middle school and is now in magnet high school. They’re so grateful for the cohort they’ve had, especially in middle school and high school, because although every class has kids who misbehave or are distracting, a large majority of their classmates pay attention in class, learn the material quickly, turn in their work, and can handle a faster pace and deeper discussions. In mixed ability classrooms, my child felt ignored because they were never called on. In the magnet programs, they get to participate more.[/quote]

I dunno. Sounds like your kid has low frustration tolerance. Most people in the world are average, and kids have to learn how to deal with that before they become insufferable adults. I'm starting to think the real superstar kid is the one who isn't in a social program, mixes with all the normies, and still shines.[/quote]
Then by all means, turn down all offers for enrichment for your child and raise a superstar.[/quote]

OK, tell me how to do it! I have no idea![/quote]
