[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More support for high performing kids. [/quote]

+1. Get rid of lottery. Make admission performance based. Forget the equity/equality bullsh*t and recognize some kids have high ceiling than others and those kids need specialized teaching. [/quote]

There will be no lotteries in the future. MCPS is moving to a regional program system with no magnet programs at the MS and HS levels for the highly able. I expect that works for most people. Probably no more CES programs at the ES levels. Give MCPS a year or two before they cancel accelerated learning throughout the system for the highly able.[/quote]
The regional model is a regional magnet system. Like a PP alluded to, no decisions have been made re: ES/MS magnets. Instead of making stuff up, you should listen to the board meetings.[/quote]

Sure, folks should watch the meetings, but just listening to them is like drinking the kool-aid.  Presentations that dance around or don't even address the obvious questions that the public would have.  BOE questions off the mark and with little in the way of follow-up.  Month(s)-later responses from MCPS that, again, avoid as much as possible providing data that might undercut a narrative or give the public certainty.[/quote]
