[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what it comes down to is this - there are kids who are high achievers who are just outside this CES bucket (for whatever reason) and are grossly under-served by MCPS. So what are the options:
1&gt; Expand these CES type programs  - unlikely to happen especially with the current school board who are focused on other issues! Serving the top quartile of kids is the LOWEST priority for them.
2&gt; Private School - not an option for many of us!
3&gt; Enrichment at home actively engaging the kids, museum visits, theatre etc. Sure! 
But does it need to be more organized? It is very hard for a parent to figure out what level of math/reading/writing supplementing to do by themselves. And so we are back to looking at places like Kumon/Dr Li/ etc etc. Makes me cringe but how else do you get these kids to aim for higher.[/quote]

#1 could happen. Should have happened 15 years ago when the student population started exploding and the HGc and magnets did not follow suit.[/quote]
