I call BS on this post.[/quote]

DP.  I call BS on this BS.   The other poster bragged how the 97th percentile didn't get into the program, so that should tell you something. I'm familiar with the PBES program.  I don't think it's any different than the W feeders.  The main difference is TPMS, but [b]now that it's a lottery, the program is not what it was[/b].  There's also an issue with the RLA program at PBES that was never fixed, imho.  Both the P and teachers involved are still there.  Not saying it's a bad program by any means, but [b]the combination of lottery and a few bad apples dragged down the stature of the program overall[/b].[/quote]

OP, listen to what this poster is saying. They are technically correct, but not in the way they think they are. Now that there's a lottery among the approximate 85-90th+ percentile instead of drawing mostly from the 97th+ percentile, [i]certain people[/i] have decided it is not as good a program and the program has lost stature in [i]their eyes[/i]. Consider why that might be, when the lottery has only been in effect for 1-2 years and there is no solid evidence that any of that is true. [/quote]
