[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a warning from over here in Montgomery County: after years of parents gaming the system, the county got fed up and changed the criteria for admission to 4th grade gifted centers. They now mostly use the scores on the MAP tests they have been taking in school all along, plus a much shorter admission test. They are trying to find out what kids' real abilities are, beyond their parents. This is what will happen in your county too if you keep prepping. School systems don't like being used and manipulated this way.[/quote]

You aren't gaming the system by working with your kids at home.  If MCPS did a better job preparing our kids and teaching, I would not feel the need to work with them at home.  We do a variety of workbooks - a few pages a day.  Our child's favorite is the test prep book.  The teacher in 3rd this year is teaching them test prep skills.  So, is that teacher gaming the system or preparing them.  I don't want my child at a gifted center.  Transportation/distance will interfere with activities.[/quote]
