[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are the kids in the same school one get 218 got in and one got 230 didn’t? This is too ridiculous.[/quote]

Both are in the pool. A lottery is a selection from the pool. That’s how…

But I agree they need to expand the CES program especially if they’re doing away with how ELC as we’ve known it [/quote]
They should raise the bar higher or just cancel this at elementary level. It’s too discouraging and how kids feel seeing friends scoring lower than him got picked enriched program? Life lesson at 9?![/quote]

Not sure why your kid would find it discouraging unless they don't understand what the CES program is, in which case it's your job to explain it to them.  CES is not designed or intended to serve the smartest/highest scoring/etc kids.  It's just a lottery for a random sampling of above-average kids who qualify for enrichment-- some kids get it at their local school and a random group of those have the option of going to a different school for it.  It's not a competition and doesn't reflect on the kids in any way.[/quote]
