Actually I would hope it is based on none of those things. I hope it is based on identifying children who learn differently and would benefit from an accelerated learning environment that supports those differences.

Also, there is generally very little homework before third grade in FCPS (IMO) and no letter grades, so those things are not really a factor. As for bring disruptive, I have actually heard some people say they think the center classes are more disruptive than the regular classes. This is obviously not true in all cases, but there are certainly some classes with highly advanced learners who also some learning disabilities (Aspergers and other ASDs, ADHD, anxiety, etc) and yes, some kids who feel more then a wee bit entitled, and this can make for a less than harmonious classroom! (And before anyone jumps on me, my kids has one of the disabilities I listed.) Our grade at the center is not that disruptive (from my observations) but the year ahead of ours has a bit of a reputation for being wild. Cohort makes a big difference.[/quote]
