[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they also dropping the essay for Eastern? [/quote]

Yes.[/quote]

FYI: One of the criteria for evaluation that was mentioned a few times is current reading level.[/quote]

Reading level?

A relative of ours went to Eastern magnet five years ago; the girl said the sheer volume of writing that needed to be done pretty much from day one was incredible. Without testing an applicant's ability to actually write, how will MCPS make sure the kids are up to task? By having them answer 10 multiple choice analogy questions?

I'm speechless.[/quote]

That's good - perhaps you'll discontinue posting. Obviously you traffic in hyperbole and panic, since A) you didn't have a child at Eastern and are only posting based on anecdotal info and B) don't realize that children who can think at this level can actually be taught how to write above grade level relatively quickly even in 6th grade - shocker![/quote]

Children who can 'think at this level' shouldn't be given an unfair advantage while there are children who already can think and write and have already demonstrated their academic advantage. And why don't you discontinue posting yourself since you've been trying to advance your agenda on multiple threads now, and your agenda is clearly a political one. [/quote]

NP: Your post makes it sound like the magnet program is an award. It isn't.[/quote]

What political agenda would that be?  Do tell.[/quote]
