[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they need Teachers recommendations this year?[/quote]

No. No Teacher Recommendations, no Map-R (for SMCSM). Just 7th grades and Q1 8th grades + Map-M + essays/statements. That's it.

What I didn't understand from last night's meeting is whether or not they know if kids went to the TPMS magnet. Transcripts clearly list that the 7th grade math class was "Mag Algebra I" which is only available at TPMS. It also indicates the math class was different (2x speed + more content). Is that scrubbed to eliminate the "Mag" - I think that would be disingenuous and unfair, only because the class is materially different. The answers were unclear.

I think they will know. It makes sense because a B in that class is very different than a B in regular Algebra.[/quote]

Magnet kids aren’t getting Bs! Are they?!!![/quote]

Absolutely! Especially in Comp Sci!!![/quote]

I... you thought that was a genuine question?!  I can't even.  JFC.[/quote]

I think people absolutely believe that magnet students either effortlessly get all As or are pressured into getting all As or else. There are lots of magnets students who struggle and flounder and are confused. [/quote]
