[quote=Anonymous]I actually do not understand the change in MCPS policy which is very obviously based on race and SES, because it is discriminatory. , I would have supported more magnet programs to accomodate more people, but never ever less students.

However, looking at how well Asian-Americans are represented in these competitions even from obscure schools or states not known for their  academic excellence, I know that  home environment, parental support and priority to education given by these families are the intangibles that can not be replicated by MCPS policies.

Also, when things are handed to you not because of academic merit but because of "other" considerations, such students will never ever rise to the top.  Sorry if this sounds harsh but we will see a decline in the numbers of MCPS students in these prestigious competitions.  Eventually, we will start international students from India and China getting the top prizes here because our own students will not be given the opportunity. [/quote]
