[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think adding some focus to the top 25% to the curriculum at all schools is a good thing..but the top 3-5% will lose out if the centers disappear.   [/quote]

That’s BS. I scored 99th percentile in every test I took as a kid. I did enriched programs at my home school and was perfectly fine. I think you really don’t know that many kids in those percentiles. The only kids who truly need something completely removed from all other groups of kids are the ones with IQs in the 160s and above. By definition, those are few and far between.[/quote]

Availability of enriched programs depends on the school and the population. This is why cohort matters because a critical mass of students exists at some schools to potentially differentiate further among the academically strong. [/quote]

I was in Chappaqua public schools. The demographics are essentially like Potomac. We all did fine. [/quote]

Not everyone lives in a Potomac-esque neighborhood in MOCO. [/quote]

Yep, no magnet necessary in Potomac. Just move to the Churchill or Wootton school district and you're set.[/quote]
