[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are sometimes check in lists for the open house and you can scan them when you check yourself off. A few also have folders they give out with students' names on them and they can be laid out by last name allowing everyone to see the list of admitted students. I wouldn't be so literal, teach.

Hundreds of students attend open house. Who has time during check in to look over an entire list or check all of the folders to spy on who was admitted?

Eastern didn’t use either of those systems, FWIW.[/quote]

We have 3 kids who have gone through multiple levels of magnet open houses. I assure you no one is checking the list and memorizing who got in and who did not but it's sometimes really easy to see who is missing.

When one DC was in elementary DC and a friend were looking for other friends in the faces of the kids who attended. They did not see them and on their way out they looked at the leftover name tags that had names printed on them and sure enough there was one child from their school whose nametag was there who did not attend. The other 3-4 kids who told them they got in were not in attendance and they did not have a nametag. It could be they declined quickly or their name tags were misplaced but kids who are not trying to "spy" can still get a sense of who got an offer.

Sometimes the school or a teacher will talk about how many kids got into magnets that year. It does not take a nosy person or a genius to realize that if only 7 kids got in and 7 of them were at the open house that maybe the other kids who said they got in in the first round maybe did not.
