[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will report from MoCo, where the gifted program is in fact as small as you suggest (a couple of kids get selected from each elementary tops). Helicoptet parents here also prep their kids way beyond what the schools want them to do. But it is probably a saner system because most everyone who gets left behind in the home school is pretty bright too, and an excellent education isn't reserved only for those called gifted.[/quote]

I wish fcps would run things the same way as MoCo.  This seems way more reasonable and fair.[/quote]

Dumb. FCPS runs circles around MCPS, where the focus is on reducing the achievement gap by making sure smarter kids aren't challenged or allowed to get too far ahead of the low-achievers.[/quote]
lol.. well, apparently last year  TJ had to put some kids in remedial math, and the assumption is that this was caused by the "wholistic" approach to the admissions process.   So, I guess FCPS is doing a fine job of closing the achievement gap with this.

And, I'm pretty sure the "gifted" kids of MCPS are being challenged in their Highly Gifted centers.  In case you missed it, this thread is about "gifted" programs, or in FCPS' case, "Advanced" program.[/quote]
