Appreciate it! I actually kind of like the "ze" construction as a singular pronoun for someone who doesn't want to identify as male or female. The use of "they" is very confusing, especially when multiple people are involved.

No matter how much you clutch your pearls, there are still going to be smart kids getting into good colleges who were not in a K-8 gifted program that you seem to think is so essential.

Do you realize there are no gifted programs in DC?

Yes, but I read the original post and listed an argument I don't want to read again.

Help me understand why this term is a problem. Magnet schools, by definition, draw from across a school district over traditional attendance boundaries. Some have entrance requirements/exams, others don’t.

Aren’t some of the DCPS high schools that use an exam to determine entrance rightly called a test in magnet school?

They are selective, application schools but admission isn't based solely on test results and GPA, there are also subjective factors such as an interview. At "true" magnet schools only test scores, and sometimes grades, are considered.
