[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lottery brought in a lot of undeserving kids into the middle school magnet programs at the expense of kids who were at the 99th percentile in MAP.  [b]Kids who would have presumably also done very well in COGAT. [/b] The lottery has diluted the quality of the magnet under the guise of diversity.  Bring COGAT or some other objective testing method back.[/quote]

Not necessarily. MAP tests content knowledge, not intelligence.[/quote]

Same with CogAT. Very easy to prep for like SATs.[/quote]

If it's so easy to prep for SAT's, why aren't the kids all 1500+?

I would think MCPS would do that themselves to get parents off their backs and give graduates a better chance at college?[/quote]
It's in fact not hard to prep for SATs; just get a few prep books and do the practice tests.

However, you must remember that 35.79% of MCPS's high school students are chronically absent. They do not cut schools to prep for SATs.
