[quote=Anonymous]14:05 here.  I just want to clarify that I realize I sounded snarky when I talked about the PP applying to SI and HGC and not getting in.  I don't have any idea who PP is or whether her children applied to magnets and did or didn't get in.  No personal comment about PP or her kids was intended -- not could I accurately make one as I don't know who she is.

However, I think the lack of choice and paucity of appropriate programs at MCPS creates bitterness and resentment among parents.  And why not, if your kids don't get into the few programs there are?  There should be more special programs and students should be recruited from throughout the county.  And there need to be more enriching opportunities in every school, including differentiated gifted instruction.  It shouldn't be so "all or nothing."

IMO, those parents who don't want a cookie cutter approach should be supporting SI and other special programs.  Look at MS programs like arts at Loiederman.  Kids are flocking to that school and making it a desirable school, but lots of kids don't get in who would benefit.
