[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just realized. Does the school system realize that if the children outside of the Magnet program outperform the Magnet kids by a significant factor, how that will be perceived by college admission boards? That would be exceptionally embarrassing, especially to the kids within the program.[/quote] Do you really think that today all Magnet kids outperform all of their peers? There are really gifted kids at no Magnet schools who for whatever reason aren’t in Magnets but still kick a$$ on tests, grades, AP, etc and go to top colleges. The Magnet is a very specific track for kids who want that track. It’s purpose shouldn’t be to create a cadre of kids who “outperform” other kids. … unless you want the county to inky invest in the Magnet and throw other kids the scraps, which it sounds like many of these crazed posters infuriated about the lottery do.
