[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would it only be a few schools that don't have a whole class of qualified kids? The current program is design for the top 5ish percent. Takes a couple of kids per school. An expansion to include a whole class at most schools is a completely different program[/quote] Everyone on here constantly complains that their gifted child isn't getting what they need and very few make it to HGC. There is even a statistic thrown around that 40% of MCPS is considered gifted. So maybe they are trying to open HGC up to more qualified students.[/quote] There is a very discernable difference between gifted and highly gifted. All too often parents hear [i]gifted[/i] and think [b]HGC[/b]. Increasing the number of gifted students in the HGC would dilute the cohort. [/quote]
