[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It would be foolish to think there aren't black and Hispanic kids who deserve to be in the magnet programs and who would thrive there. I am all for all the things they are doing to find those kids and figure out a way to help them attend the magnets. [b]But it's equally foolish to argue that they should be in the programs in the same percentage that they are represented in the overall school population[/b] when every test we have shows that URM students are not performing as well as their white and Asian peers by the time they need to apply to these programs. Maybe they need to start a magnet program that targets exceptionally bright kids as early as K so that they can offset the years of advantages many wealthy white and Asian children have growing up by 3rd when the first magnet applications are done. [/quote] That's a straw man. Nobody is saying that.[/quote]
