[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, if you solely read this forum, you'd think only geniuses live in Moco.

Op, my kid is in middle school too (not a magnet or frost, but likely similar). She's smart but not going to make math olympiad. Some classes are good (math, global humanities, science), and some are average (English, foreign language). I found the social aspect such a big difference that I was grateful that she wasn't feeling high pressure in every class..now in 7th grade, she pretty much has hw daily in math, foreign language, and humanities and it takes 1-1.5 hrs. To me, that's sufficient.

?  Plenty of people post on here stating  that there kids are above average, not genius. I don't get that sense. Sure, there are a lot of high performers in MCPS. There are a lot of lawyers, doctors, scientists, IT professionsal whose kids go to MCPS, so it makes sense that there are a lot of smart kids in the district.[/quote]

That's exactly my point. I actually *am* a scientist. My spouse is a doc...I went to tpms/Blair. My kids have both skipped grades, yada yada. I still don't get the sense that my kid is getting a grossly inferior product at a regular mcps middle school than I had at TPMS. And in terms of outcomes, it's meaningless since most of us UMC parents are already giving our kids tons of advantages/privileges.

I dunno y'all. It's okay to not be super challenged in every single class. I read a lot of fantasy novels in class. [/quote]
