Next year (2018-2019) they will be available for sixth graders. The following year [b](2019-2020) they will be available for sixth graders and seventh graders. And the year after that (2020-2021), they will be available for all three grades in middle school: sixth, seventh, and eighth.[/b][/quote]

More great news![/quote]
My DC will be in 9th grade by then.[/quote]

Yes, as the PP said, it is unrealistic to expect MCPS to instantly address the issues of every student in the county. My kid is in ninth grade now and would have loved to have had these classes. Nonetheless, I am able to recognize that the classes are a good thing, even though they won't benefit my own kid.[/quote]
no one has said that mcps *trying* to offer enriched classes is a bad thing, only that such classes aren't really all that enriched.  My 7th grader is an "Honors" class now, and it's a joke. DC complains about how slow it is. Teachers are supposed to offer differentiation for the kids who are advanced, per the Principal when a bunch of former HGC students' parents met with the school.   Two years later, DC really sees not much differentiation.

That's why I'm hugely skeptical about these so called more enriched classes.[/quote]
