[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wait till more  upcounty parents hear about this. If they find out their kids are missing  out on enriched classes at the home school, they are going to be pissed. My kids aren't in MS yet but by the time they get there i for sure would want this at their school.

Don't sweat it, pilot testing is par for the course with MCPS.

I believe the month after they announced the new Scoring System for CES (center for enriched studies, the former Gifted Centers. You know, it's not the kids that are smart it's now the materials are smart), they had a lot of valid complaints and thus are PILOTING these new enriched classes at 20 or 30 schools and then will roll out more the following year if they think it can work.

MCPS does a lot of test piloting in ES and MSs all around the county.  Most of the time you never hear aobut it until 1 or 2 years later. Could be your school, who knows.

What I'd love to know is what ES schools MCPS game JHU to student/survey and what ES schools JHU choose of the 20. It was half given, half choice. Those were studied and surveyed last spring and last fall.  Never heard a peep about it until SPring Break. Which is also pretty slick, I must add. [/quote]
