[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should understand that this right here is why they changed the admission criteria last year.

MCPS took the identification of candidates and the application process out of parents' hands because parents were manipulating it this way by trying to find out what is on the test and giving their children unfair advance knowledge of it. Now, the test for CES is much shorter and counts for less weight. This is entirely because the county wants to serve children who truly need it, not children whose parents gave them the answers.

:shock: They changed criteria because people were drinking beer, doing drugs and were not using birth control? [/quote]

Are you the polar bear/lemming poster? Because neither of these responses made any sense to me.[/quote]

Really?  What did not make sense to me is the assertion that parents knew what was on the test and they gave their kids answers?  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

We are denying access to meritorious students to  a good program because two chronically low performing communities have been socialized into thinking that they don't have to work hard at all, but their kids deserve to get into such programs for just existing?   A culture of giving hand-outs for political reasons, instead of actually trying to close the achievement gap with better curriculum and instruction to all. will produce only these kinds of results.
