[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Magnets in MOCO are geography based, test based. Basically kid tests in get an option of a magnet either Math or Humanities based.

One does not need a magnet if at top HS in MOCO.

Most public home HS have all the advanced classes except IB.

Top publics in MD are way better than any DC private particuarly math and science.

What do you mean by "One does not need a magnet if at a top HS in MOCO"? Please explain.[/quote]
NP. They mean that if you attend one of the top HS in Montgomery county, the course offerings will be very solid to challenge any kid, and the cohort will be strong too. I agree with one of the previous posts that name 4 very strong HS.[/quote]

By "strong," they mean having a higher percentage of white and Asian students and a lower percentage of students receiving subsidized meals.[/quote]

This is a classic "causation vs. correlation" [b]FAIL[/b].  Unfortunately all too common with many people.

The good news is that the kids at [b]BOTH[/b] the magnets and those "top" HS aren't likely to fall into this logic trap so there's hope.
