Holy smokes!?!?!?! Seriously????

MCPS is not in the business of training Olympians! It is a public school system. And extracurricular sports are NOT NOT NOT a primary function. School sports are fun, community building efforts.

Is literally EVERYTHING some kind of competition to you? Can't [b]anything just be done because it brings communities together in a way so that they enjoy being together[/b]????

How is this possible when MCPS divides the community by injecting race equity into the mix? 
Why deny opportunities for some highly abled students who are equally qualified? Why can't they treat every student equally and meet every student's needs to maximize their potential?

That's exactly what they've addressed with their new selection criteria by ensuring all students have access to these programs not just ones from wealthy schools who invested thousands of dollars into prep classes to make them appear gifted.[/quote]

Having advantages does not equate to "game admissions"

Very true but many wealthy parents resent not being able to game admissions like the good old days. [/quote]

[b]The wealthy parents are bitter that they can no longer easily game admissions[/b] like the good old days but their frivolous lawsuits keep getting laughed out of court.[/quote]

Yep.  We are not able to "game admissions" by holding our kids to high standards in school, making them practice reading or math at home, and even sending them to classes, if needed.  I also play the same "game the system" at work when I prepare for analyses I do or presentations I make.    [/quote]

I see you are ticking off many of the talking points of parents who care only about their own kids and could not care less about kids with fewer advantages.
