[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the other thread about yesterday's meeting, there was a link to what people spoke about and many emphasized continuity and to keep StoneMill and Travilah together at Cabin John for continuity and to have same peer group.

My question - families with kids in magnet programs have invested a lot of time driving the kids, kids also have sacrificed their elementary school friendships and made new friends in these magnets. With the regional magnets, current 6th and 7th graders will lose those set of friends/peers/cohorts and no continuity for them - basically ES was a different group, MS a different group and now a different group for HS. It is hard for some nerdy kids to make friends as is and now they have to start over.

If continuity is allowed with boundary changes for current 10th and 11th graders, why not the same for the current 6th and 7th grader kids in the magnet programs? They need continuity too.

How can this be achieved? [/quote]

So you want kids who had lottery luck in MS magnets to get that advantage through high school too? Nope. Not happening. If you want continuity, go to your local school. [/quote]

Luck or not you have to be good enough and meet a certain criteria to get into that pool.

Yes, but lots of kids meet the criteria and are never offered a spot. It takes luck to get in.[/quote]
