[quote=Anonymous]What happens to kids who opted out because they didn't want the long bus ride to a magnet or didn't want to leave social group? They may have applied if they knew that a home school magnet was an option.

What happens on this note next year? If a kid absolutely won't go to magnet for those reasons but wants consideration for in school differentiation, is a cogat test really needed? The school will have 6 years of testing data (MAP-P, MAP-M, MAP-R, Inview, PARCC etc), grades, performance in compact math, teacher recs etc. Isn't that enough for a school to determine whether a child is highly-able and would benefit from an advanced section of math or humanities? Why does central office need to be involved other than for appeals and for placement in the magnets like Eastern and TP?

In house magnet and advanced classes should be available to every qualified child. There should not be a set number of seats and a competition frenzy to get in. Otherwise, how is the school meeting the needs of all kids?[/quote]
