[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am perplexed. DD IS 95% straight A’s.  Not even wait pool for any program.  Feel like all the kids that won the elementary lottery at the age of 9 were funneled into magnet Ms at 12, then onto magnet HS   How are other kids going to have a shot at these curriculum? [/quote]

This. Kids who got into CES (which is really hard to earn the spot) receives enriched program (usually they also do Compact math, have family support + extracurriculars) goes on to Magnet MS with HIGH and advanced math with tutoring if necessary, and they are the 99%ers who gets accepted into the criteria based High School program.

It’s not fair for the kids who never had the chance to get enrichments between those years.[/quote]

My kid never got into magnets but I did provide extra math outside of school. [/quote]

My kid is at Blair without tutoring or prior magnets.  [/quote]

Your kid has visible talent and willingness to perform effort beyond what their school requires. We're saying that the system isn't fair to the kids who have only invisible talent and aren't willing to work beyond the school's bare minimum, but have parents who want the prestige of a magnet.
