[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they need Teachers recommendations this year?[/quote]

No. No Teacher Recommendations, no Map-R (for SMCSM). Just 7th grades and Q1 8th grades + Map-M + essays/statements. That's it.

What I didn't understand from last night's meeting is whether or not they know if kids went to the TPMS magnet. Transcripts clearly list that the 7th grade math class was "Mag Algebra I" which is only available at TPMS. It also indicates the math class was different (2x speed + more content). Is that scrubbed to eliminate the "Mag" - I think that would be disingenuous and unfair, only because the class is materially different. The answers were unclear.

NP with kids in elementary, so I have no dog in this fight.  But, given that the middle school magnets are now lottery based, it seems unfair to give too much preference to those kids who got in, because there are plenty of equally qualified kids who weren't selected.  Not sure whether that applies to this year's group of 8th graders, but it's something to consider for future years, if not.[/quote]
