[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fine with universal screening, but using the cohort criteria really does exclude the brighter kids. [/quote]

But don’t they get the advanced classes at their home school? I thought they send the kids who are advanced but there’s not enough (20?) other advanced kids at their school, and where there are enough kids to form a class they keep them at their home school? I’d prefer my kid be at the home school, unless the magnet is close. [/quote]
[b]No. If it was the exact same curriculum, then yes, but it's not the same curriculum, so no.. those one or two classes does not make a magnet program[/b].[/quote]

Oh, but three classes does?!?!  The magnets only have three magnet classes, others magnet students take with "regular" students from that school. So, if they have two magnet classes at their home school and now have the time they would have had to spend on the bus to participate in an extra curricular activity or club, win/win for everyone... seems like a move in the right direction.[/quote]
