[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Completely agree. Having a lottery that encompasses such a large swathe of students automatically means highly-able students will be rejected in favor of less-able ones. If they want a lottery, it should be confined to the top 99th percentile of standardized-test scorers. You cannot prep for the Cogat, however much you try - it's very much an IQ-type test. You can only familiarize yourself with it. The best solution would be to expand magnet seating, particularly at the middle school level, where it is most needed. That way all 99th-percentile scorers can be accepted, and a lottery implemented for a few others, perhaps based on socio-economic factors. [/quote] I know and it's really tough to game the lottery too! Back int he good old days before all this woke universal screening stuff, you just needed to sign up for a few prep classes and send in an application. Now almost anyone can get in![/quote]
