[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If almost all the middle school has a cohort, then isn't this so called "cohort" criteria a joke? why it was only applied to certain schools?[/quote]

Because the goal was to reduce the number of Asian American students and voila that is exactly what they did. The schools that were blocked had more highly performing Asian American students.The enrollment in the end did not add very many URM students but whites did go up and Asians went down so MCPS sees it as success in getting closer to the demographics that it wants. Its called racial balancing and its very wrong. White kids who don't perform as well as Asian kids do not need extra privilege but they certainly got it! Plus TPMS got to keep its 25 in boundary seats that don't need to compete with the rest of the county. These kids certainly don't deserve to be there and most are white. Asian American parents are not dumb, they know very well that if they try to move into TPMS that they will still get blocked. However nice try in enticing families that can prop up the scores in the low performing ES to move while at the same time discriminating against them.

Now the magnet has -how did they put it - a greater diversity in ability- translating to the magnet no low longer has the top applicants. [/quote]

As much as I love these fan fictions people post, it might be more helpful to stick with actual facts.[/quote]
