[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes and no. I don't think the school ever received the proper curriculum nor resources to maintain the "cohort" classes so they decided to just enroll all. That way, they can say the kids are indeed "enriched".[/quote]

This seems like a cop-out. It's easy to blame the Central Office, but I think OP needs to take a hard look in the mirror. The issue is her, and her fellow parents, who the administration knew would have kittens if there was an enriched class that their child wasn't placed into. [/quote]

OP here.  No, I am not sour grapes.

There are kids in our Elementary School 5th grade compact 5/6 class who did not get into the magnets.  I was very shocked that they did not.  They are exceptional, in my opinion.  Their MAP-M scores easily went into the 260's, 270's and even 280's.  They also do national competitions.  The fact is: I believe this is the "cohort" AIM was meant to serve at the Middle School.  Likewise, there are kids who did exceptionally well and can benefit from a deeper enrichment in 6th grade, and I believe again that the enriched social studies class is meant to meet their needs.  I think there is something fundamentally wrong when the middle school decides to enroll all 6th graders in the social studies class.  And I do not think all fifth graders taking Compacted 5/6 should be in AIM, likely including my own child.

Okay, I don't disagree with your reasoning. What school?  So far, people have posted bulletins of other W-feeder schools that are not doing what you describe.  What you state is happening at your school is NOT happening across the county.  Again, if you are telling the truth, then you need to take this up with your principal.  [/quote]
