[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The peer cohort argument is disingenuous considering Magnets were designed to import a better cohort into schools with economically slipping demographics? To say now these studious upper SES kids are fine in their home school because all the kids care about school is redundant. They always have been this isn’t news, the question is what happens when those kids don’t prop up the needy schools test scores and external people’s perception of said schools and opportunities? Does the gap between the perception of the (have and the have nots) cause the SES divide in real estate selection to continue cement in. I guess some families might factor poorer schools being an easier track to academic spotlights but I doubt it. [/quote] Right. People need to realize that magnets are NOT about providing gifted students the most opportunity. It's about importing better academic outcomes and test schools for low-to-mid performing schools.[/quote]
