[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:28 Here. Yes, I am for real. Some of the magnet students are what you would expect: studious, nice well behaved children. The others- well..... Many sabotage work since they know they will be pitted against each other for the coveted Blair spots. Many are 13 year old hackers and very much into things their parents don't know about, such as pirating and illegal use of electronics and computers (such as jail breaking iphones and downloading uppaid for programs.) Then, you have your socially awkward aspergers kids (30%?) that interrupt and are rude. Yes, it IS som

I'm another poster who thinks your characterization of TPMS magnet kids is utter BS.  You don't describe a single kid I know at the magnet.  And covering yourself with lines like "things their parents don't know about" isn't convincing.  
-  Where on earth are you getting a figure of "30% aspergers kids"?  This is laughable and undermines the rest of your post, even if the rest of your post weren't so laughable.
-  I haven't seen a single instance of sabotage, let alone "many" instances of sabotage.  Kids take tests and hand in homework, just like everywhere else.  Are you suggesting that kids steal each others' homework, or maybe sneak up to the teacher's desk to change test answers given by other kids, or maybe deface each others' science fair poster boards?  I have never, ever heard of a single instance of anything like this happening.
-  If you are the poster who pulled her kid out of a magnet, then presumably you did this before your kid reached age 13 and 8th grade, which is the final year of the magnet.  So I wonder where you get your information about what the 13-year-olds at TPMS are doing?

(FWIW, jail breaking iPhones isn't illegal, it just voids your warranty. Unless you're trying to jailbreak a stolen iPhone, which is a different set of issues.  I suppose next you'll be telling us that TPMS runs a black market for stolen iPhones!)
