[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am perplexed. DD IS 95% straight A’s. Not even wait pool for any program. Feel like all the kids that won the elementary lottery at the age of 9 were funneled into magnet Ms at 12, then onto magnet HS How are other kids going to have a shot at these curriculum? [/quote] Bingo you have hit the mcps absurdity shady jackpot [/quote] yes, because most kids have straight As, it's basically all based on either your MAP-M or MAP-R scores. And your MAP-M and MAP-R scores may be higher if your parents were pushy enough to insist you be in Algebra in grade 6 rather than grade 7 or 8 because by grade 8 you'll be in 11th grade math and have covered almost the full spectrum of the MAP-M. And since MAP-M is a test of exposure rather than cognitive ability, being exposed to higher level concepts at an early age will give you a boost. [/quote]
