[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've heard that they stare at the meeting that the leftover spots are more likely to go to students in lower income schools. [/quote]

You are mistaken. The lottery process for out of bounds students actually favors applicants from more affluent clusters in order to achieve a balance the socioeconomic status of students.

I was really impressed with the student presentations for Parkland and Argyle. Argyle students get to learn the same programming languages as TPMS magnet.[/quote]

Just do not tell me that Argyle student would be in 7th grade read the same College level book by themselves like in Mr. Taliff class at Takoma.
There is NO WAY.
My child struggled a lot in that class, and I know at least several other students in TPMS who did.
So there is no way average student from Argyle to cover the same material on the same level in Computer Science.

If student will get some basic Python, I will believe it, but not more.[/quote]

All I meant was that they teach the same programming languages (Python and another language I can't recall). I can't speak to the level of instruction at either school, but would imagine that TP probably goes more in depth.[/quote]
