[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is false. ANYONE could take the test, and it wasn't heavily reliant on teacher/parent rec. [/quote] Only kids whose parents asked for their children to be tested were considered for the program in previous years but now schools identify candidates. Something like five times as many kids were tested than in prior years. This seems far more inclusive and does a better job finding the best candidates. [/quote] I totally agree.[b] As long as MCPS provides adequate accelerated classes for the cohorts of kids who are left at their home schools, [/b]I think this is actually a really good move towards equity in access to magnet programs. [/quote] And that is the $64,000 question. Right now, they are only going to offer one or two of such classes, and I doubt the curriculum of those classes will be the exact same as in the magnet.[/quote]
