Of course test scores are some component of gifted.    Just like a soccer tryout involves actually playing soccer.

MCPS already uses some data beyond test scores.   Nothing is going to be 100% perfect of course, but  I see no major problems with the current system.

IMO no one in their right mind could read recommendation 3a and not come to the conclusion that Metis is proposing that MCPS admit less qualified students based on race or income level.   [/quote]

I am 17:31. Both of my kids went to the HGC.

Test scores are one way to measure giftedness. They are not necessarily the best way. They are certainly not the only wa[/b]y.

Please quote "recommendation 3a" directly. I believe that I am in my right mind.[/quote]
So, what are the other ways.  And if it's not the best way, then why does pretty much every single "gifted" program use mainly test scores as an entrance criteria?[/quote]
