[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You are assuming that by using an opaque standard that cannot not be explained to anyway, magically there are an increase in diversity in gifted programs. Why not invested in K-2 more heavily for the disadvantaged kids and let everyone have the same admission standard? Why are you so against having a standard? To be honest, if the whole curriculum is so watered down to close the achivement gap, there won't be such demand for the magnet program anyway. [/quote] What's magic about it? MCPS commissioned a report (the Metis report) that, among other things, identified barriers to entry. MCPS has now redone its admissions process in an effort to remove some of those barriers to entry. The revised admissions process will either increase participation by previously underparticipating groups, or it won't. Either way, there will be measurable results.[/quote]
