[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless something has changed, students need to know python to move to the accelerated track.  My student did not come from TP so had not learned it yet.  Something to start working on early if your child is the same.  Mine decided not to test for it..and is currently a comp sci major in college.[/quote]

Or don't work on it early because it's not a race. Go at the pace you want. [/quote]

Exactly! Sure, kids from the elite MS magnet had three years of CS already. It's not that big a deal.[/quote]

Oh FFS, no one said it’sa big deal. But if the course requires Python as a prerequisite then either the kid got that at TPMS or they got it outside of MCPS. It’s not that complicated. Getting into TPMS isn’t such a big deal, it’s not that hard if your kids are very strong in STEM.[/quote]

Agree, out of the 8000 students who are eligible 125 end up at TPMS each year.[/quote]

It’s not that elite.  It’s a lottery and probably favoritism.  [/quote]

Yes, it's a lottery but only of the very best.[/quote]
