[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More involved parents?[/quote] In many ways yes. Sending a child to a magnet typically involves greater effort than sending them to the neighborhood school. The transportation logistics can be complex especially if you end up driving them. I spend about an hour and a half a day driving him to and from school. There are lots of non magnet parents in the area who are very involved in their child's academic and non-academic life. I have friends who spend a lot of time (and very often lots of money) ferrying kids to gymnastics or soccer practice, clinics, camps for example. I would describe them as involved in and supportive of their child's interests. I would say that most magnet parents are involved and interested in their child's academic interests in part because their children are highly motivated learners. [/quote]
