[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in the "feedback room" for 40 minutes, and there was at least a little back and forth, in the form of questions that were answered, e.g., why are there 6 regions and not 5, 4, or 3? (A: it is the best way to divide up the county logistically and provide sufficient access); how do you plan to keep the programs high-quality? (A: we will take what works well in existing programs, learn from it, etc); what do the current magnet coordinators think of all this? (A: it's a mixed bag, some are supportive and some have questions, etc); will you grandfather in current younger siblings in the DCC and provide a sibling link? (A: good suggestion, noted); will criteria-based programs have a lottery component? (A: blank stare - then another parent reports that Jeannie just told her in the other room that no, it will not).  There were others - perhaps someone else can add.

I thought they were less aggressive than they could have been, and seemed at least open to hearing from people.  That said, I don't think anyone walked away thinking that anything other than some small tweaks will be made.[/quote]
Genuine question: What was the "back and forth" element of the feedback room session? I don't consider asking questions back and forth--that's a one-way flow of information. [/quote]
