[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think more secrecy about the test would actually be better. No one should be prepping for these at all. People who seek out information about he test through back channels and tutors are 100% cheating. MCPS should be able to use any methods they want to select students.[/quote]

How is it cheating?  I'm the PP who says they should make the test public.

People prep for everything!  It's called being prepared and knowing what to expect.  You do better when you're aware of what is expected.

Do you think SAT prep courses are also cheating?

At least if everyone knew, then everyone could have the opportunity to prep.

The purpose of the HGC is to create a cohort of highly gifted children.  Not to accommodate your well prepped, middling child.

Despite what you think.[/quote]

No the purpose is to be able to bunch "traditional high achievers" who couldn't afforded to live in a better zone into a scheltered school within a school concept. Let's not forget gifted is code for potential and let's be honest who has more potential here.[/quote]

If this were true why do W school kids attend HGCs?[/quote]

Because not all W school feeder schools are that great.[/quote]
