[b]I have seen AA and HI students who were taken in highly selective programs just to boost MCPS numbers crash and burn in these programs[/b]. Currently, many students in the magnet programs are supplementing in some way and they are not relying just on the magnet programs to get ahead.  The test prep centers have also become a tutoring center since many years.  Students who are attending these centers are not going there because they need academic intervention, in fact many of these students are much more accelerated than the magnet programs that they are in.

Back up here. Let's start with -- how do you know that these students were admitted "just to boost MCPS numbers"?

If you have proof that MCPS is using race as a factor in admissions to magnet programs, then you should go to DOJ, because that's illegal.[/quote]

She doesn't. She's just assuming that any poor or working class kid of color is a pity admit. [/quote]

FYI - Poor and working class does not mean only Blacks and Hispanics. There are Asians and Whites in the school system and magnets who are poor, working class as well as the working poor!   The achievement gap is not talking about poor Asians and Whites. It is solely dedicated to AA and HI  - regardless of how well off the individuals are.  :roll: [/quote]
