[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would twice as many kids apply?  I am surprised by that.  My DD knows very few kids who applied. [/quote]

More importantly - isn't it wonderful that more kids have applied? That finally more kids have been informed and excited about the participation in the programs? More kids from lower income brackets responded? That more parents who can not afford private schools can enjoy the benefits?

You should celebrate not dwell on searching for some negatives. Everyone should apply as many kids have so much potential and never try for programs that they would thrive in. Lots of economically disadvantaged kids have brilliant minds and were lost in the process and now they are not. Do you have problem with that?[/quote]

What in earth are you harping about? No or. Said anything about income brackets or private schools or brilliant disadvantaged kids.

Besides, if you were a brilliant disadvantaged poor minority kid you’d already be at SFS or GdS on full grant. [/quote]

Do you think representatives from those schools are scouting MCPS ES for academically gifted poor kids? LOL! They are not. I’ve taught brilliant disadvantaged kids that didn’t even know those schools existed and did not have a parent who could even navigate the application process.[/quote]
There’s programs to help. So teacher, next time, put your gifted poor student in touch with them to start the process. [/quote]

What are these programs? Post them here.[/quote]
