[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because these people didn’t refer as they were confident their kids would be in pool now they are mad and have to wait until next year [/quote]

Okay, that’s the biggest load of horse s h i t. Any parent who cares about this is dialed in and referring their child. They are completing the parent questionnaire and pulling work samples. They’re not sitting back confident that their kid is in pool and doing nothing. Besides, CogAT scores don’t come out until right about when the deadline to refer occurs.

There are ZERO parents that are mad that they missed out on sending in work samples and the questionnaire because they assumed their kid was in-pool. ZERO. [/quote]

A lot of parents do not know the process, which is utterly opaque. All of the county is not FCPS.[/quote]

Well, our school sends home about 4 flyers and 15 digital messages on the topic each year.  They also host about 3 AAP info sessions that are advertised on the school sign in English and Spanish....its not that hard to get information.  We also were not in FCPS when we transferred in.  But, we got all the information we needed a year ahead of time.  The parents do not know the process are the same parents who put zero effort looking into it. [/quote]

AKA the overwhelmed parents who are too busy working 2 jobs to support their family to keep up with the emails and attend meetings, or (relating to the zero effort comment) those who just see public schools as free-daycare.  It just so happens that this poorer demographic also aligns to many of the same groups that benefit from DEI activities.  [/quote]
