[quote=Anonymous]All students in MoCo elementaries can try to clear the bar for the counties' Centers for Enriched Studies all-gifted 4th and 5th grade programs. They can also try to test into half a dozen middle school magnets. Even if they don't clear the bar, they're eligible to take more advanced MS math and foreign language than in DCPS (6th grade algebra, 6th grade language). It's very easy to claim Brent is "solid." OK, if that's true, why do so many upper grades parents head to Mathnasium, hire writing tutors, use spelling instructional software religiously etc. If you don't get into Latin or BASIS, or don't want to go, better not to kid yourself about how much rigor Brent offers. The last straw for us was when an upper grades math teacher scolded us for having taught our kid a good year ahead of the curriculum. We're at DCI now, where the math challenge situation is much better.[/quote]
