[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok - I know the magnet parents sound so entitled and annoying AF here. I hear that and I really disliked being near them when my son was in the program at Blair. However, isn’t it the case that really bright kids deserve to have their educational needs met just like kids with learning disabilities? I do think that GT programming has been dwindling not just in MCPS but nationwide. I mean, look at the Honors for All stuff going on. Kids can’t even get a little bit of  differentiated instruction in 9th grade English at most MCPS high schools and it is ROUGH. So my point is, magnet parents? Check your tone. You sound like a#%holes. But everyone else? These parents are just like you and trying to get their kids what they need and what they deserve from their public schools. [/quote]

If you think kids with learning disabilities are having every single need met by public schools, then you have another think coming. I have a child with special needs, and if I waited for MCPS to meet every single speech, occupational, and physical therapy need my child has, I'd be waiting a long time. No. The school district does the best it can with the resources it has, but I would not want MCPS to hurt other children just so it could maximize every single support my child could possibly need in his school career.

It's the same with parents of hyper-accelerated kids. I wish them all the best, and MCPS owes them a strong education, but it does not owe them "testing the limited of their ability." [/quote]
