[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]MCPS could care less about high performing students. I have had kids in this school system for a LONG time.[/b] My own thought is that everything started to go downhill for the neurotypical smart kid when NCLB was passed. NCLB also coincided with a massive influx of poor ESL students and a massive increase in special needs students (at all levels) due to an increase in Autism awareness and testing.[/quote]

Same here.  Parents of high-achieving kids need to figure things out for themselves.  MCPS does not want to support them.  Not only that, MCPS has stated its main goal as closing the Achievement Gap.  It would be in conflict with that goal, if MCPS tried to help the already higher-performing kids to do better.

It’s crazy that the public school system doesn’t do more to nurture, encourage and engage our high performing kids.  [/quote]

The thing is, the gap won't ever close. It exists because some care while others don't. People have different priorities. [/quote]
