[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The Cold Spring results are very interesting[/b].  Clearly it would be difficult to accept all 55 applicants into ms magnet.  Some criteria must be established to decide.  My understanding is that Cold Spring has many high performing kids.  Hopefully, a strong peer group supported by strong teachers can provide a similarly enriching experience for all.    [/quote]

If true. About which I am doubtful. Were the fifth-graders running around at recess systematically checking off names on the Valentine's class name list?[/quote]

They were all talking about it at the beginning of the day and, with all the rejections, started saying "no one got in, no one got in!" Apparently the teacher corrected them and said, well, two kids got in (the two probably hadn't gotten their letters yet and weren't saying anything). She was quite upset that the bulk of them wouldn't have access to a magnet-level curriculum, said MCPS no longer used test scores as the primary discriminator. My DC said gravely "she hates MCPS," and added she refers to the 2.0 curriculum as "-2.0." Ha.[/quote]

I find it hard to believe any teacher would talk to their students this candidly. Either this is BS on somebody's part, or that teacher doesn't plan on coming back next year. [/quote]
