[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not an MCPS parent, but isn’t it clear that as a nation we cannot continue to chip away at educational opportunities for accelerated students? I don’t totally understand what MCPS is proposing here, but parents should fight against any loss of advanced opportunities. If MCPS wants to expand options they should add more accelerated seats, not remove them. [/quote]

Adding more accelerated seats is exactly what they are proposing, and people are freaking out.[/quote]

The way they are doing it will destroy the entire program. If they want to add extra seats and make it equitable, why not build a centralized program so resources can be concentrated? [/quote]

It will change the program, but it will not destroy it. Not everything needs to remain exactly the same, frozen in amber, forever and ever. [/quote]

It will change the one thing that makes it special. Divide the program into 6 regional clusters and you will end up with every other "GT" program in the nation. Didn't the presentation say that they would only guarantee offering AP courses? There's nothing unique about this.[/quote]
