[quote=Anonymous]Here's my report from Christmas Future, as the parent of a kid who has been through all of this. For my kids, the CES program was a "nice to have" but not a necessity. Similarly, HS magnets are a "nice to have" but there are enough opportunities for differentiation that a bright and hard-working kid will do fine. Where y'all need to focus your energies right now is on middle school. The middle school magnets were a lifesaver, and I mean that absolutely literally in the case of one of my kids. Take all this energy and worry, and translate it upward. Demand that MCPS follow through on their promise to "cohort" high achievers in HIGH and AIM, and that they start differentiating MS English. Make noise. Show up. Middle school is where it is really going to matter, so organize now while your kids are in 3rd in the hopes that it is better by the time they hit 6th. [/quote]
