[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]

How about ask a parent who had/has a kid at a CES and see what their curriculum looks like?  You can't replicate the environment, but you can come close and on top of that filter out the stuff you don't like about the CES.
