[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all this assumes that all the parents of kids scoring 5s will want their kids to go to magnets. Many won't. The commute will be terrible for some of them. Some have siblings who wouldn't be eligible and the parents won't want to split them up. A lot of the kids scoring 5s go to charters and their parents don't want to give up montessori or language immersion or a path through middle school. Kids don't want to give up their friends. [b]And what about the kid who scores 5 in one thing and a 2 in another?[/b] [/quote] All valid points--some families won't opt for magnets depending on location, preferences, etc. As for the bolded, perhaps the rules could be that kids have to score 5s on all, or 4/5s on all, along with teacher rec. There may be ways to make it work.[/quote]
