[quote=Anonymous]Lottery of top 15 percentile seems reasonable to me. It's not discriminatory (it's a quasi lottery), the top 15 percentile is capable of handling the more rigorous curriculum, and opens the eligible pool to more racial groups. While not perfect, it seems to be the best compromise. AEF did not sufficiently prove there was discrimination, which is why the judge dismissed their lawsuit. AEF and similar groups are also assuming that only the very top performers (top one or two percentile) should be granted the magnet seats. I'm not sure this has ever been the magnet programs' policy, nor do I think it should be. Rather than focus on zero sum "hunger games" for the few magnet seats, groups like AEF would be better served working on expanding accelerated programs to all home schools.[/quote]
