It's interesting that now MCPS is not publishing the exact "local norming" and "lottery" methodologies?  Notice a pattern there?[/quote]

It's not curious at all because anyone should be able to figure it out it's basic stuff and detailed on their website so I don't know what you're talking about.[/quote]

I know it's easy, but it's an issue for those people who wouldn't understand anything anyway.[/quote]

I would like to understand.  Can you please post the link with the lottery details?  I'd like to know what method is used (ex. a spreadsheet, a contractor, etc.).[/quote]

Foolocracy is here. Lottery magnet. Oxymoron. [/quote]

It is clear that you have nothing to contribute to the discussion. Can you do us a favor by not distracting the other interested DCUMs?[/quote]

Their comment seemed on point to me.  These people who keep asking for explanations of the most obvious details which everyone else understands has gotten old.[/quote]

All I am saying is that it doesn't matter. Lottery magnet is no longer a magnet. It is an oxymoron. MCPS has been obfuscating for a while and will never tell you what local norming means. It is just something they can use to manipulate. [/quote]

ox·y·mo·ron
/ˌäksəˈmôrˌän/
Learn to pronounce
noun
a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (e.g. faith unfaithful kept him falsely true ).

Also lottery magnet. You can have a lottery or you can have a magnet program, not both. [/quote]
