[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interestingly, [b]the MCPS materials about RM's program do not use the words "highly gifted" or "gifted" at all. [/b]It says the program is rigorous, but they use the same language for Wheaton's Engineering program.  They say it is competitive, but again, that's true of any of the test-in magnet programs.

This idea that RM's program is a walled-off garden full of highly gifted violets that might shrivel if a regular kid gets near them is just unsupported nonsense. [/quote]

Interestingly, you are correct. MCPS is trying to hide the support for highly gifted for a while to not offend people like you who feel threatened that there are kids who are   advanced learners and academically much more advanced.

If you do not know the history of all the magnet program, please educate yourself. If you want to understand the need for Highly gifted student here is a place to start: https://www.nagc.org/

Otherwise if you have no intellectual curiosity, please take your caustic sniping somewhere else.[/quote]
