[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of us know how the magnet application process will change. This is just an outside study with recommendations.

But I get the sense from all these comments that people on DCUM think of "us" as the gifted white and Asian students, and "them" as the potentially lower scoring black and Hispanic students. MCPS and the school board does not think this way. They are responsible for all the children.

If every black and Hispanic kid in the county dropped out of school, would you posters even care? If MCPS decided to officially segregate the entire school system based on IQ, would you think this was a good idea? I know those suggestions are nuts but I get the sense from some posters here that they really don't care about anyone but their kid. [/quote]

MCPS has already spend a lot more per student for the kids in east side of the county, and will continue do so but we all know, nomatter how many mcps spends, the achivemen gap will persist for ling time.  Admitting more students "other groups" who are not ready to meet the charllenge will only let them down.

If admitting all the students to HGC/magnet from "other groups" will prevent them drop out of schooll,  you will win the highest honor on earth!!!  I believe people like me would be happy to see magnet/HGC in every school.  It will produce more future tax payers,  less crime, no drug on street![/quote]
