[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:41, I like your analysis of the question.  Don’t you wonder which 10 schools were identified for the original 10-school field test prior to the data coming in from the CogAT?  [/quote]

Yes I do and I think many of W school feeders (e.g., Cold Spring) were not included in the original 10 schools. As another poster posted from the GT listserv, parent advocacy/complaints from those areas extended the list to 20.[/quote]

Well, I didn’t say it was complaints from the western schools that led to the expansion, I just said advocacy in general.  [b]I actually assumed that the original ten schools were mostly the ones with the larger numbers of high performing cohorts[/b], but I too would be curious as to what the original plan was.  Regardless, I’m glad they recognized it was only fair to offer at least one class in all 20 schools.  I really do think it makes a difference to have at least one decent class, even if all your other classes are mediocre.  (I’ve had kids go through our home middle school, so I know exactly what it offers.)[/quote]

The reason why I don't think it was the original high performing cohorts is that that strategy would not have met the Metis goals. The diversity numbers would have looked worse.[/quote]
