[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone else notice that the letter said parents will have the option to decline consideration but they don't mention the reverse? They were saying a few months ago you could opt in to testing but that was conspicuously absent from the letter.[/quote]

At the meeting they said parents could request either, and there would be [b]a simple way to do it on the letter sent to all third grade families[/b].[/quote]

Does that mean I'd have to explicitly consent to testing and send the letter back to them, if my child is identified? If testing happens at school, does that mean the school will be given a list of third-graders to test? What if some consent letters get lost in the mail?

In the past, when parents 'nominated' their kids, it was obvious that they wanted their children tested. Now it gets murkier.

I'm also pretty upset about the changed boundaries. My child goes to Luxmanor ES, and the ride from  to Chevy Chase during rush hour would be terrible. Sure, the new catchment area will 'cut down on travel time' for kids in Bethesda/Chevy Chase, but we are getting the sharp end of the stick here. Not only the competition is higher at BCC/Whitman and it's harder to get in, the commute will be crazy.

UGH![/quote]

If it's like the 5th grade testing for Takoma Park and Eastern magnets, if invited to test, kids ARE tested unless you explicitly notify the school that you do not want your child tested.[/quote]
