This is clear: When 100s of straight A student is BORED with the ES or MS work, class, lack of discussion, projects. Something needs to be done.

No need to speculate who's going to be Steve Jobs later, or have a big A Ha moment at age 16 and suddenly start applying him/herself.  Challenge the student today, challenge the student appropriately. Kids have academic track records by 3rd and 4th grade, no need to put SPECULATION as the number 1 determinant for access to a CES or magnet program.  No need to project that if Little Julio was just in a special program his 70% scores would be 90% scores.  That's speculation.  Just what DC did and then everyone ended up cheating to make kids graduate programs and look like a success.

Teachers know when smart kids are bored, or aren't having their interests built or worse, are losing their love of learning. But they can't deviate from C2.0, or they have too much material to cover lightly, or no time, or easier to just stay on script.

Ideally you'd switch to private school, every top kid I know who was bored and switched, practically snapped out of a funk and loved school again.   More ideally, this big, $$$$ public school district would nuture these such students, not only the ESOL, FARMS, bottom half, but the top ones.

I was about to report this for being inflammatory and racist but I think it's better just to let it stand here. You are showing us what people opposed to this new process really think. [/quote]

It is sort of true though. Studying is not gaming the system, lower the standards is. I wonder if you office lowered their standards to hire you? They might have actually [/quote]

I'm truly sorry your kid didn't make the cut, but there is no evidence to support these wild assertions. In fact, the evidence suggests the opposite.

[b]BOTTOM LINE the top 2.5% of 4000 (2018 application pool) applicants beats out the top 16% of 600 (2017 application pool) [/b][/quote]

What evidence? How are you loony toons defining "evidence"?[/quote]
