[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transparency is not MCPS’s skill set. They will do whatever they can to reach their predetermined goal.  MCPS doesn’t care how they impact individual students with their duplicitous agendas.[/quote]

It's funny I found the information that was on their website in the past thorough and helpful. It seems like a lot of people just jump to these conclusions without ever trying to find answers for themselves.[/quote]

Speaking of which (NP), it looks like CogAT for Grade 5 select students is November 8-19, 2021.

I am not understanding if this is evidence of transparency or lack of transparency? Seems to me that at the minimum it is evidence of poor communication. Is the CogAT for placement or something else? They are so transparent that no one knows what methodology they will use this year. The problem for MCPS is that it is easy for people to infer bad intent because they are continually so sloppy.[/quote]

Even if they were to explain you'd fail to grasp it and just complain so I understand why they don't bother.[/quote]
So you can certainly explain to me in detail how they are using CogAT this year and what other criteria are going to applied and how in detail?

You seem to have a problem insulting people but this will be a 3rd year in a row that MCPS has used a different process and the idea that it is well documented is just untrue. Otherwise it would not be a surprise to people that they are administering CogAT this year.

It sounds like they're using the pre-pandemic process. This would make perfect sense.[/quote]

Yep[/quote]
And this is clearly explained on their website? Obviously no.[/quote]

It is but you need to have some basic reading comprehension to grasp it.[/quote]
