[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this will blow your minds. My kid who is breezing through sixth grade in the TPMS magnet getting 100 percent in virtually all classes and performing very strongly in all the magnet classes, was accepted last year with a low 240s MAP-M.

And you know what? It didn't dumb down the program to take a kid with such a terribly low score! It didn't mean they were letting weaker students in. The MAP score was simply a single data point. [/quote]

Don’t let DCUM insult your child!  I am sure s/he is wonderful and has many great qualities, including great academics.  There is no such thing as a perfect meritocracy.[/quote]

Agree, just because you're kid is a little above average in math doesn't mean they shouldn't get enrichment with other slightly above average magnet kids. I just feel badly for those kids who were really gifted who didn't get lucky enough to win the lottery and spent another year plodding through 2.0 that they understood 3-5 years earlier.[/quote]
