[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine if they just made enough [b][i]real[/i] magnet-level education available locally to everyone with a big enough local peer cohort and centrally to everyone without. [/b] Too bad that the old paradigm was so demagogued by ongoing anti-GT elements that that approach, when introduced, didn't come with either the organization or funding to support that local equivalent well enough, and was then the subject of threatened lawsuits such that it lasted a single year and we've ended up with the lottery, instead.[/quote]

My daughter has been a beneficiary of the CES/magnet lottery preference for high FARMS area kids. And thank goodness. It was awful for her to be told she had to limit raising her hand to answer questions to twice per week in her math classes so other kids could have a chance to answer. [b]Some of you complaining have no idea what it's like for your kid to be one of only a handful of high-performing kids[/b]. I only wish her cohort at her home school was full of high performers so we didn't have to make the ridiculous trek to TPMS and back twice every day. [/quote]

there are only a handful of highly performing kids at magnets and W schools also. it's just a different standard.

so yes, a lot of people are familiar with what your talking about even if they are not necessarily at high FARMS school.[/quote]
