[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should understand that this right here is why they changed the admission criteria last year.

MCPS took the identification of candidates and the application process out of parents' hands because parents were manipulating it this way by trying to find out what is on the test and giving their children unfair advance knowledge of it. Now, the test for CES is much shorter and counts for less weight. This is entirely because the county wants to serve children who truly need it, not children whose parents gave them the answers.

OK, why do you think they changed the criteria last year? [/quote]
DP.. not enough URM kids, per the METIS report.  Cohort criteria was the only way they could change the demographics.[/quote]

See now I think that's the same thing. There weren't enough URM kids because the Asian and white parents were prepping their kids and the URM weren't. No?[/quote]
No.  Not all Asian/White kids prepped. And not all URM did not prep. How many Asian/white kids prepped? I don't know, and neither do you or MCPS.
