[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is in Roberto Clemente MS Magnet. While the general school is not impressive, the magnet program is excellent. Teachers have way more flexibility and funds to create their own curriculum. DD's magnet science teacher went out of her way to obtain extra funds to bring the Science kids to overnight field trip to Chesapeake bay. During 8th grade, the kids will go to New York (Humanity program)/Boston (Science program) field trip.

The Magnet kids typically stick together, go to the Magnet or Advance classes (except PE, or elective likes orchestra/band/chore, Art, language) and don't have much time in between to get into any trouble. [b]I made the decision not to sign her up for any after school activities. [/b] That was a good call. The magnet kids do not have enough time to do home work anyway.

Apply first, take the test, and see if you kid can get in. Is today the last day to apply HS magnet?[/quote]

What?!  God, I feel sorry for your kid.  Do you really imagine that the kids at Clemente who sign up for after school activities are somehow less desireable as peers because they aren't white and well off?  Honestly, what is going to happen to those kids when people with your kind of attitude continue to hold them down?  What more do you want from them -- they are engaged in school-run activities, not selling drugs on some street corner, which is what I imagine you think they are doing.[/quote]
