[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is really no need for a central program.
Each school can have its own advanced classes.

This would greatly reduce the cost, while kids can still receive good education.[/quote]
each school cannot have its own advanced classes because some schools do not have enough high achieving kids to warrant a whole class just for like 10 kids.  That is the whole reason why MCPS moved to the new model of selecting kids who did not have a similar cohort to the ES/MS magnets.

If a school has hundreds of kids, why should the resource tilt to less than 10 kids? That does not make sense![/quote]

because not to put too fine a point on it, educating those kids has a high societal payoff. I feel like these discussions mistake education for a private good. no. we educate our best & brightest appropriately because they are our future engineers, doctors, and scientists. every other kid also deserves a solid education, but it’s suicidal for a nation to decide that it will not provide a rigorous education to the gifted/highly capable students.
