[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]most posters who are critical of this proposal have no dog in this fight; they have already gone thru the programs or current in the program and will be done by the time this is implemented. while extremely challenging, these programs so very unique and usually open up many doors moving forward. it is super unfortunate that families with young kids will not have the same experience/opportunity. you can make yourself believe they are the "same" program, but they won't be.

Sadly, that ship already sailed when CES and MS magnet became lottery.[/quote]

True but I was talking about the proposed magnet HS changes. Those 4 critical years before they start college and beyond. [/quote]

I think it’s a good point though, however you stand on this issue.  I don’t think many people posting (?) have experience both with the current high school magnets and with the lottery based middle school magnets.  To what degree is the lottery in the lower grades changing the game?  Are TPMS magnet kids that much more likely to get into Blair even though their initial selection was partly luck?[/quote]
