[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is very disturbing/disheartening for some of the parents to insinuate that "Black" kids are in these programs to fill spots. FYI, try asking your kids how these so-called "Black" children are performing. I have a Black child who is high performing and I must say performs better than some of your children. Let us give all children a benefit of doubt. I am a strong believer in all kids being able and capable given the proper support and environment. No wonder "Black" students feel the need to constantly validate themselves in these types of programs. The parents are out here sending kids into these program assuming "Black" children are less than. Please stop! [/quote]

I did not see insinuation in this thread, but I think anyone who thinks this way is not a current magnet parent but someone whose child did not get in and they are trying to make up reasons why.

In my child's year it was well-known that the top scorer on standardized testing the year they applied from TPMS to Blair scored extremely high. This child happened to be Black as were some of the other top scorers. No thought about their race then, and I don't see them caring about it now.[/quote]

+1 my own kid was told by a classmate who didn’t get in that he must have got in because of his race. It’s just bitterness from parents and kids who didn’t make it.[/quote]
