[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting article. Thanks for posting. I could definitely see something like that being tried in MCPS. And, could see the BOE getting totally behind it. We'll have to see how it pans out in NY.[/quote] And I don't see anything wrong with it. [b]Take top 10% from each school;[/b] if those grades were really hard-earned, and not just inflated, the kids from every school should be able to do fine in magnets. Admittedly, some will do better, some will do worse, but hey, a C has never killed anyone. [/quote] Did you read the NY Times article? It does not sound like that is what they are doing. They are putting the lower performing kids into these programs. NOT the top 10% at each school. I would agree that taking the top 10% wouldn't be a problem. But, this program wants to take kids with LOW scores to increase 'academic diversity'. [/quote]
