[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster who says "there is a reason not everyone gets to go" - since you have no clue about my child, I don't take it personally.  On the contrary - once I figured out what was happening, I told DC it was okay to drop out of CES.  DC wanted to stay - with friends and the program and worked tail off last year.  I know you probably have your own opinion and won't be dissuaded, however, the matter is with the BoE (and afterwards, the State of Maryland, DoJ, Courts, Bethesda Magazine, whomever cares about children are treated at MCPS, etc.).  To the poster that doesn't believe this is real - I'll look for your apology once all the appeals are over with.  :)[/quote]

You are upset about admission to middle school magnet program. In your description you say it is because of homework grades that were inaccurate. That you reported this up to the superintendent. That this stopped your child from getting into a Magnet program. I find that hard to believe.

I do understand a parent wanting to have grades accurately recorded. Again, not the reason your child did not get in.

It's not like a middle school magnet acceptance is going to automatically get your kid in at the high school level. And high school is three years away. There are plenty of kids that end up at Magnet programs after being denied in MS.  If your child is that gifted and motivated then that will happen.

But, if your child never makes it into a Magnet program they are not doomed. Or if they do, it does not guarantee acceptance to a college that you choose. Are you going to call Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton etc if your child does not get in and you think they should?

Clearly you are the one obsessing over this issue. Not your child, given your posts.
