[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assume she is not in-boundary the girl still took a preferentially reserved slot.[/quote] I think you are wrong - I don't think that for competitive-admission programs, gender can be a factor, per Eisenberg. I can tell you that four years ago, in my child's HGC class, there were 8 girls and 17 boys. In my neighbor's French Immersion fourth-grade class, there are a tiny minority of boys (I think she said 7 boys and 18 girls).[/quote] FWIW, the immersion programs are strictly by lottery, not by test or any other factor, with no latitude for balancing by gender or anything else. So the immersion program is an example of a school BEFORE balancing.[/quote]
