[quote=Anonymous]Even MCPS admitted that they see “more diversity in ability”, and teacher need to provide extra scaffolding, And please don’t delittle those kids who were excluded by cohort citeria, saying they perform good just because of outside enrichment, majority of them are just smart kids with busy parents working demanding jobs, those kids are doing similar things just like other 5th graders in MCPS. Universal screening is great but with so many highly able kids identified Why don’t they extend the full magnet ciiriculum to home school instead only one or two courses [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can also be argued the new selection criteria will result in higher outcomes since it emphasizes aptitude over the extent one has engaged in outside enrichment. This was a smart move by the county which I applaud. [/quote] Similarly, there's no evidence that supports the belief that the cohort criteria reduced the magnet's quality. There have always been more qualified students than seats. The new means by which these seats are awarded better serves the overall population than before since the cohort criteria allows MCPS to serve the needs of more students than was previously possible. Sure, some selfish parents won't let it go, but there is no question that this was a wise decision by MCPS.[/quote][/quote]
