[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, my intent was not to prove that my kid or others selected to TPMS are the brightest, my point was to let know about my observations of this cohort that got selected through a changed process and all sorts of assumptions were made in the spring how the magnet selection is watered down to get certain kids in to the program and thus the magnet class will not be as smart as it has been in the previous years. Though my DC was selected I had all these assumptions too an wondered if it makes sense to join TPMS. I have no such concerns anymore . I haven’t seen the program to be less challenging, in Math, Science or Comp science. One comment my DC made was that longer periods and odd even schedule is way better than the regular schedule. Lot gets done. All are smart so challenge is always there to be at the leading edge. Science projects, science bowl, math count, AMC are all with in the school curriculum rather than parents extra effort as I did for my older one. One thing DC likes is the diversity in this school. Yes, totally agree that more such programs are needed in the county. A couple of these programs are too less. [/quote] good for you to have peace of mind. [/quote]
