I think that’s the rub. The other child admitted wasn’t  purely because of societal change. Your kid wasn’t accepted to TJ, it doesn’t mean he won’t do well at other schools. Your child isn’t ENTITLED to go there. [/quote]

That applies equally to every child at TJ, no one is ENTITLED to go to a magnet school, they all have to follow the admission process. One is ENTITLED to an opinion about whether or not that admission process is fair and lawful, and ENTITLED to litigate if they believe it is not.  Whether or not a child is admitted "purely" because of societal change is irrelevant, since no one on either side believes the change in admissions resulted in children being admitted solely for that reason.[/quote]

But you will never accept that your kid was rejected because of your kid’s factors, not a policy change![/quote]

I've actually heard parents tell kids "You were denied because they wanted more kids from X background or kids that played sports." This doesn't help the kid at all. But it does make the parent feel better I suppose.[/quote]
