[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CES doesn’t matter if you are happy with the avg peer group at the school. If there is a big difference from the top to the bottom then cross your fingers as that is the only way you can get away with sticking so many (ehemmm) gifted kids in a classroom together and concentrating the ( ehemmm ) not-gifted kids behind.

Don’t worry even though they are separated they are (ehemmm) equal. Oh wait MoCo doesn’t even pretend they are equal. They just pretend the kids they pluck out are smarter[/quote]

Are you saying the all the kids chosen to go the CES really are not smart?  MCPS decided who goes or who doesn’t![/quote]

I am saying the gap between those picked and those not picked is over stated. If you have a bunch of kids getting stuff ahead of the curve (presented or naturally) and then a test to see who is ahead of the curve. It is fairly predictable who will be ahead of the curve and that has panned out over the years with those selected to the point the system need to be changed. Also go look at the classrooms and the overall types of kids will be skewed compared to the general population, also not a coincidence. The passionate white middle-class mom screaming for enrichment might not admit that it is a dog whistle but what does anyone here want to bet about what the classroom looks like in here mind when she closes her eyes if she doesn’t get that into it?
