[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The programs used to look for kids who were true outliers. Now we seem to think that the top 25% are outliers and need special programs. If we want to have a program for the top 25% in can be in every school. No need for any lottery based magnet. It is compact math + a high reading group + enrichment.[/quote] This thread is about Middle School magnets. In every middle school, there should be enough highly abled students to populate an accelerated classroom. The magnet programs are a head fake by MCPS to avoid actually creating advanced classes in each middle school (not the fake "Honors" level). They are a distraction only, and the majority of highly able kids get no differentiated education because political attention is busy squabbling about the admissions criteria to a program that is a joke in size.[/quote]
