[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get so ticked off for the kids who are in the racial minority that people like OP (and like the Rosenfelds) think they are undeserving of the spots at these programs. What century is this?[/quote] Well, quite honestly until they remove these kinds preferences based on race in other admission programs you're going to continue to see this kind of second guessing. [/quote] That might be true but hopefully it is now crystal clear that race is not a factor in the HGC elem. programs or in the Eastern and Takoma Park middle school magnet programs. The test scores are important but they do look at teacher recs. and in the case of the middle school apps. the student's essays and application form to make sure the program is appropriate for the child. A student might be bright but might not enjoy writing/ project work or have a hard time managing the work load for reasons related to their organizational or study skills . [/quote]
