[quote=Anonymous]If you are in a TAG magnet elementary school you are automatically granted admission to a TAG middle school.  If you are TAG identified and you choose to get TAG at your local elementary school then you have to enter a lottery to get into a TAG middle school.
The major complaint I hear from parents who have kids at a TAG elementary school is that they get a TON of homework.  I know of one family who complained to the county about it.  The county contacted the school and informed them that it was too much but that there was no change to amount they were given.  We are talking about over an hour of homework a night for second grade.  
Even if our daughter tests TAG, we will not enter the lottery.  I think it is too much for a 7 year old and I'm not ruining my home life by fighting homework battles every night.
I am really hoping that Dr Maxwell's expansion of magnets will include increasing the capacity at TAG middle schools.  If they can guarantee spots at MS for all TAG identified kids, I think that parents would leave their kids at the local elementary schools.[/quote]
