[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all really disheartening to hear as the parent of an incoming 6th grader who thrived in ELC but didn't draw a spot at Eastern despite being in the pool.  He's assigned to HIGH for 6th grade, which I've heard is decent. He reads independently for fun and at a high level, but there's no real substitution for being taught to analyze text.

Are there better ELA options in high school? I'm a bit concerned that not getting a magnet spot now means my kid will be at a big disadvantage then, because peers who did attend Eastern will be miles ahead.

At least your kid got CES. My kid was stuck in a school that didn’t even have ELC and just did Benchmark for the last 2 years. Sat in the CES waitlist for both heads, and now is on the Eastern/Takoma waitlists and at this point I am sure spots will not pop up.

This is an example of why MCOS needs to change the model for GT education. [b]They should be creating classes within each school to address needs rather than sending kids away to a center/magnet.[/b] [/quote]

Totally agree. [/quote]

What do you suggest for schools where there is not a full class of kids who are appropriately placed there?[/quote]
