[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS provides some information online at the link below, but this fails to provide any insight into the selection process. They state that multiple data points are considered which is vague. I'd hope their process had greater transparency.

To the OP - Please just go to the link.  Nobody, and I mean nobody, on this forum (unless they actually were part of the selection process) can give you any better insight because there hasn't been much transparency, so poorly to partially informed speculation has rushed in and filled the vacuum.

There are always things on on anonymous forums that are untrue but I have found a lot of talk on this forum to be shockingly accurate IRL. I think some parents are good at finding things out from their school or have friends who are teachers or are teachers or administrators themselves post on here but don't want to out themselves.[/quote]

Maybe, but not on this topic.  It's mostly parents stating, authoritatively, why their DC [unfairly] didn't get into the "gifted" program when they clearly are "gifted."  I understand why the county isn't being transparent, and I understand why that is so frustrating to so many here, but without the data about who were selected and who were not, we're just making ill-informed generalizations.  Yes, some posters report their DCs' scores, but maybe it's the same 10 posters, and maybe what they are reporting isn't accurate.  You have no way of telling.  I see sweeping generalizations being made based on anonymous posts and what they have found out from friends, which may be better than no information, but not necessarily. [/quote]

You may be one of those posters whose child did not get in, but I can tell that some of the other people have kids who did get in and probably got information from their schools because this is the same information I'm hearing.[/quote]
