I agree with this. That is why I have no problem with pouring more money to the titile 1 schools and have preschools for low income kids or headstart. I just don't know whether chaning gifted program admission criteria is the way to do it.

More outreach effort such as not needing parents to apply for their kids to these programs are great. I wholely support. Reducing testing difficulty and [b]use opaque admission standard to social engineer students demographics is an insult to any intelligent person in the community[/b]. [/quote]

MCPS has never not used opaque admissions standards, nor should they ever stop using opaque admissions standards. Why? Because the minute they explain the admissions standards, [b]parents with knowledge and resources will start to jigger the process.[/b] (Speaking of social engineering.) If you support admission by merit, you should support the opaque admissions standards.[/quote]

Yep totally agree.  And I don't think anyone is saying to admit non-qualified students to HGC -- just that there may be more than one way to determine which kids are gifted. [/quote]
