[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] [b] If it's so easy to prep for SAT's, why aren't the kids all 1500+? [/b] I would think MCPS would do that themselves to get parents off their backs and give graduates a better chance at college?[/quote] This. MCPS can close the achievement gap by offering SAT prep to all kids and declare success! Guess what? It's not that easy. Not everyone even wants to put in the time and effort needed. [/quote]
