[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are you even talking about? My child has not shown me the list but mentioned a bunch of friends who got in over dinner. I know these kids and DC has said for 2.5 years they are all the top students with 300+ MAP scores.[/quote]

The top mostly Asian 300+ students have got in. Agree. Seems though that the bar for Asian kids is 300+ while the bar for others is much lower. [/quote]
And? It's a county-wide program so they need to take students from other middle schools, not just TPMS . And I bet you Asian kids from North Bethesda MS or Julius West MS have a much lower bar, too. [/quote]

Not the point. Just comparing kids within TPMS. If a 290 Asian boy doesn't get in but a 260 white kid or a 250 girl gets in that means Asians are just being compared among themselves. Like they are not real individuals but just a homogenous group. [/quote]

Except it’s completely race blind so the commute has no idea who is Asian and who isn’t. So if the 290 kid didn’t get in it’s because there was another candidate that was better. Maybe they didn’t have all As. Maybe they didn’t demonstrate an interest in stem their essay. Maybe they didn’t seem as well rounded. Maybe your kid is just not as smart as you think they are.[/quote]

Maybe so. how do you know it is race-blind or gender-blind?[/quote]

It’s not gender blind but it is race blind. They told us at the various open houses. It’s also school blind, though unclear if they can tell who is TPMS from their grades.[/quote]

Don't believe that it is race blind or school blind going by what I see. [/quote]

Haha. Well I guess you know better. We should listen to the anonymous stranger instead of the peeler who are actually on the committee. What’s your theory about both? [/quote]

and who's on the committee now? [/quote]

Email the magnet coordinator and ask.[/quote]
