I went to the liaison meeting in November where Meredith Casper directly said that parents can nominate their child even if the teacher doesn't. All children who are nominated by either teacher or parent will get tested.

Sigh... It really isn't. You are just not seeing the big picture of where MCPS wants to go with specialized programs (e.g., magnets) at all level. In their view, the programs have become too specialized supporting mostly Asian and white kids. Giving changing demographics of MCPS, they are not willing to continue that. Quietly, but surely, this is the beginning of the end for MCPS specialized programs. [/quote]
