[quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]What I also find patronizing is this stereotype that magnet kids are all children of immigrants, which is actually quite rare, most are the children of affluent families since these programs are effectively limited to only those who can afford expensive prep.[/quote] I think your experience is clouded by living in Takoma Park where most of the magnet kids are US born white kids. Over here in the W schools, most magnets are populated by poor(ish) Asian and Indian immigrants or 1st gen Asian and Indian kids.[/quote] This doesn't make any sense at all, particularly if we are talking about MS magnets. Even if PP lived in TP/SS, they are still meeting kids from the (affluent) western half of the county, and noting that those kids are at least middle class and predominantly drawn from groups that are high status back in their country of origin, either by caste, political affiliation, or ethnicity.
