[quote=Anonymous][quote]You still haven't explained why MoCo administrators would do something that runs so contrary to the interests of their own kids in magnets and W schools. Because it's obvious that high-achieving white kids abound at these schools. Go for it, explain how this resolves the gaping hole in your theory![/quote] What percentage of the magnet schools would be filled with children of the fading old guard if admission were strictly based on academic performance and entrance test scores? 50%, 75%, 90% ? or would the demographics mirror TJ in VA? Yup, try to keep 'em close. There are a myriad of ways to "close the gap". One way is to try and pull those ahead down (rather than bring those down up). This closes the gap from the top (in reverse manner). I'm not saying such a foolish strategy works in real life. But, in real life, policy blunders are made by fools.[/quote]
