[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 13:27, and before I log off rather than go over the same ground all over again, I'll tell where my POV comes from.  So far my 2 kids have done 3 MoCo magnets, and counting because we have another round of magnet apps next year.

So I have personal experience with gifted programs.  And they're great. But when I look around the gifted classrooms, I see ...

1. My kids are being met at their level, but lots of MoCo kids are not.  That's why I'm leery of campaigns for more $ for an already privileged group.
2.  [b]Almost all kids in the 3 magnets we've been associated with are high SES.  Including the minority magnet kids.[/[/b]quote]

Okay, in your little world of Montgomery Count magnets I can see how you believe that gifted kids needs are being met.  Because in your little world they are.  But the world is much bigger than the HG gifted centers, Eastern & TP middle schools and Blair highschool.  About 4 pages ago I posted a link to a research paper which was funded by the Jarvitz grant that was a collaboration of 3 Universities.  This paper explains a lot about the educational crisis in this country.

Also, do you see what I've bolded?  This is the problem.  THIS IS THE PROBLEM.  All the kids are high SES because there is no funding to seek out, identify, & enrich gifted kids that are anything other than high SES.

Read some of the other information that I've posted and you will expand your world a little bit.[/quote]
