[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no skin in the game as my child is in but I would not brag about the "very real accomplishments" of kids who got in versus the ones who did not.

I really think it's very arbitrary once you get past the very top kids. It's more about luck. Your child got lucky. Mine got. Theirs did not. Don't devalue their achievements because some parents are confused and upset about what happened. It could very well have been you who is in that position.[/quote]

Isn’t this the “splitting hairs” that AEI says they’re trying to eliminate by using a lottery? Maybe they should do a lottery here too. Then it won’t bring out the nasty. [/quote]

They created the problem by not using the Cogat. Once you use the Cogat you have more data to start differentiating. You can also look at a broader range of grades rather than just focusing on math or science or English. That's more holistic and fair IMO. A lottery is much worse because it does not capture the outliers.[/quote]

True. [/quote]
