[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me understand this. So they will select kids for Takoma Math/Science program without using math in the assessment test?? [/quote] Yes, I spoke to the MCPS reps after the event and they confirmed that the test was changed to evaluate how a child thinks (reasoning ability) and also because MCPS is aware that there is test prepping going on and that is why MCPS is not providing sample questions/practice exam to level the playing field.[/quote] Well, if you provide sample questions to ALL the kids (send them home with the info packet), [b]then would that not level the playing field?[/b] Instead, as it works, kids who can afford test prep can do so. [/quote] No. That's what they've been doing. It just gives more information and more business to the test prep companies.[/quote]
