[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So who actually needs a magnet program in your opinion? Not[b] the poor Asian[/b] child who has a high IQ, works really hard and [b]is prepped[/b] because her parents want to make sure she has the best chance of getting in?[/quote]

Poor Asian children, if they are truly poor, aren't being prepped (do you know how much these prep programs cost?).[/quote]

Right. A "poor" Asian child (or poor White, Hispanic, or Black child) probably doesn't live in a highly segregated enclave in Potomac. That hypothetical child has a great chance of accessing the magnet because she by definition lives in an integrated part of the county.[/quote]

And, if she does live in Potomac, she’s already benefiting from the strong cohort, which is why her parents pinched every penny to live there.[/quote]
Not 
A poor Asian kid in Potomac is a rich kid in Solver Spring? What is the cheapest house zoned for Churchill, $650K? That gets you in just about every neighborhood in silver spring except maybe woodside but even then maybe a home that needs work.

Also why when we talk about the east county they are great schools but then out the other side of their mouth it is we need enrichment programs to attract stronger kids so our smart kids don’t languish in classes with too many locals. Which is it?
