[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but they are still kids and they should do school during school so that they can have a normal life. There is no good point to wasting their time all day and then doing “real” schoolwork at home.[/quote]
If your kids are so much smarter than average, you should send them to a competitive private school. No time will be wasted.

Um, is this sarcasm? I can’t afford to send my kids to a competitive private. Neither can most parents. HENCE THE FARMS ELEMENT AND COHORT ELEMENT IN THE ADMISSION PROCESS (please imagine I said that like Dwight discussing bears in “The Office”)...

Also, the top third of kids in DC’s class are going at half the pace that would best suit them, so it isn’t like we’re talking about just a few kids. There just isn’t enough widely available differentiation in the MCPS curriculum until high school.

And why shouldn’t we hold our public institutions to a decent standard?  Their ours, funded through our taxes and designed to serve our communities. They can’t be perfect, but they absolutely can be great.[/quote]
