[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This region has astronomically more qualified kids than seats.[/quote] I don’t disagree with you BUT if there were enough seats for every single kid labeled as gifted you would have segregated schools. Smart schools and regular schools. That’s not ok. They need to stop pulling the gifted and bright kids out of their neighborhood schools and provide them with advanced work at their home school. [/quote]

Bingo.

Magnets are away to cover up segregation by [b]bussing White kids[/b] to low income schools but segregating them within the school. What a waste.[/quote]

Man.. now I know why all these magnet programs are in the schools that they are in. [/quote]

A: No one is pulling them. They are going of their own free will, because they get so little appropriate level instruction at their home school. At some larger elementary schools, where there are enough kids to make a cohort, there is now an in-school CES. For others, they are offered slots in a regional CES.

B: Most of the kids in our school’s CES are POC. Very few white kids.
