[quote=Anonymous][quote]So the only thing that changed for current 4th graders is the cohort criteria? And the universal screening/testing? I thought the current 4th graders were the ones first subject to the new selection process - certainly the cohort criteria everyone complains about.[/quote]

As many people have noted, the "cohort criteria" is not an issue at the CES level because Montgomery County and therefore MCPS remains highly segregated. Your upper middle class white/Asian kid is "competing" with similar kids because the CES regional centers are organized by HS pyramid, and MCPS high school periods are not particularly racially integrated.

That might mean that an upper middle class white kid in a highly segregated school needs a higher score to access Cold Spring CES than a working class Latinx kid needs to access Pine Crest, but that doesn't really hurt the upper middle class white kid because that child was never in "competition" with the working class Latinx kid.
