[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The % of Asian (including Indian) kids at the TPMS magnet orientation was striking.  I would have to say that it was 80-90%.  I don't have any issue with it.  Race/Sex/Religion should have zero to do with admissions to a competitive magnet program.  My little Caucasoid is doing just fine and has got to know many nice kids.[/quote]

Caucasian here--DC's Asian friends at TPMS are much nicer than the entitled kids at our W feeder MS.  Doesn't bother DC or us to be in the minority.

Also, to a PP, we are in a W feeder and are not struggling financially, and bus our child to TPMS for the excellent education.  Simply not true that the western part of the county will think it's too far, not if one values education.[/quote]

My two Whitman zone kids are at the Blair and TPMS magnets.  Their older sibling went to Pyle and Whitman.

The magnets are leagues ahead of any Pyle and Whitman classes.  Night and day.

W parents cannot "get our kids into Ivies" by virtue of our buying power.   :roll: [/quote]
