[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there are so many ways this could backfire. I don't think all the families in your "cohort" would necessarily stick to your plan. And I don't think the principal would think very highly of your bargain. Worst, I'm pretty sure that your identification of a "cohort" is missing some kids. What a horrible feeling it would be to be the parent of an unidentified bright kid who accidentally found out that one parent had "rounded up" a bunch of smart kids who were agreeing to stay with the less-smart kids ... and her family wasn't included on your list. [/quote] I love this point. I'm the parent of two kids in MCPS magnets and, even as a SAHM with time to burn (pre-covid) volunteering in the classroom, on field trips, etc., I find that I don't know who tests well. I know who speaks well to adults, who drags books along on the bus ride, and who has "good classroom skills" but that's only one small sliver of who might actually be "gifted." [/quote]
