[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define qualified...if you want to have a program for the top students, there is always a group at the top. [/quote] How to measure accurately, though? There's no "best" measure. Some kids test better. Some write better. Some speak better. [/quote] Under the old system there were tests, teacher recs, student essays, grades. Pretty broad measures.[/quote] No only the really old system had teacher recs which are completely unreliable. Removing that and adding universal screening were huge improvements to the selection process.[/quote] +1 The system in place right before covid actually managed to address many of the inequities of the older approach and I will never understand why MCPS moved to a lottery. The old old system had a lot of problems, and then MCPS spent a lot of time and energy to address those inequities only to throw it all out the window and do a lottery. It's such a shame. [/quote]
