[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really bothered by the propaganda that deflects away from the fact that they changed the criteria not to get the most qualified students but to get the demographic profile of the students that they wanted. This is just wrong. Its been stated again and again that no one objects to universal testing, people object moving admission away from merit based and toward racial profiling. Yet again and again the MCPS PR booster will try to float in that the only change was universal testing. This simply isn't true and you should stop lying. [/quote]

I think the [b]universal testing has affected the process more than the peer cohorts[/b]. Their kid not being invited because she has a cohort Is just easier for parents to swallow than “they scored high, but not high enough”, which is what a lot of posted cogat results are showing. 99 percentile nationally but only 86th percentile MCPS? Universal testing is turning up more bright students. [/quote]

It definitely has. There's no doubt about it, but easier to scapegoat minorities than accept any responsibility for one's own failings.[/quote]

It's hardly a [i]failing[/i] to have a child who was not admitted to the MCPS middle-school magnet program.

But yes, it's much the easiest to blame those other, undeserving kids (and MCPS)! [/quote]
