[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do t like the constant lies here from one individual. I really hope Jeff tracks and sees if she is coming from a MCPS server or something. A) ces and magnet is not at all a “merit based system”. Merit based means quantitative testing based, like the NYC magnets were: stack ranked scores, take the top 400 scorers, publish them B) MCPS Starr and smith have consistently said for four years that their focus is on the achievement gap and they feel [b]adding a few diversity kids [/b]to the fixed ces and magnet programs may do that. C) There is something tax payers, students, parents can do. And that is vote, file formal complaints, ask for transparency, ask for more centers, ask for better and more challenging curricula/more subject matter, and demand accountability.[/quote] A few diversity kids will never close the achievement gap. So I don't think that's their reasoning. I think they would like more kids to have the opportunity though.[/quote]
