[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're talking about both sides of your mouth. First you obnoxiously claim that in bound TPMS students are so much smarter than the rest of the DCC kids that they would get into those spots even competing fairly against the rest of the DCC. Second, you flip around and claim that the in bound seats can't be shared with the rest of the DCC because that would overcrowd TPMS by 75 kids -25 per grade.

Its utterly wrong that the in bound neighborhoods get to claim ownership and not compete fairly with the rest of the consortium. There are neighborhoods that feed into SSIMS and Sligo MS that are closer to TPMS than some of the in boundary neighborhoods. There are areas in Silver Spring that are right next Blair but are zoned for Northwood and others that drive past Blair to get to Northwood. You can't argue that the neighborhoods closest to where the magnets reside somehow have ownership when neighbors that live closer to the school than you are not getting the same breaks.

[b]TPMS in bound residents already enjoy an advantage in the test score bump that 150 OOB extra high performers bring to the school. [/b]On top of that you want special access and not to have to compete against the rest of the DCC which has as much right to special privileges as you do. [/quote]

What advantage do they get from the test score bump?[/quote]
