If my children are in TAG, and there are students who are 80th percentiloe also in TAG, I am trying to figure out why I should care and how that would take away from my children's experience.  I cannot justify caring about that.  [/quote]

I do care, especially because there isn't enough space for all the TAG identified children who want to go to Center Schools, to go there, so we have a lottery system where kids who would be in the 99.9th percentile in terms of testing (kids who are most in need of finding a cohort or peer group) are in the coprehensive school because they didn't get a spot in the lottery;  and kids at 80th %ile, whose needs could be more easily met at the neighborhood school with a pull out program or TAG in the Regular classroom, are in the Center school.

It just doesn't seem to make much sense.

In PG county schools, we have all 4 models of TAG services:

1) pull out services for TAG identified kids in neighborhood schools
2) TAG in the regular classroom in neighborhood schools (cluster TAG identified kids in one class)
3) TAG in center school-- one class is TAG, one class is "comprehensive"
4) TAG only center -- all classes are TAG

but we make no effort to match students' instructional need with the instructional model.

You seem to be one of those nutters who do better in MoCo than PG.[/quote]
