[quote=Anonymous]Regarding the sibling link and diversity - the current system rewards those who have been in the community for a long time, PP's experience as a new resident notwithstanding. Because those who rent or are housing insecure are less likely to be in the neighborhood for a long time, or to utilize resources like the MCPS website, the magnet programs favor those with at least some socioeconomic means. The sibling link perpetuates that tendency, because it guarantees ALL your kids will get a spot if you were clued in the first time. So, if they increase advertising, move the deadline to coincide with registration week, and sever the sibling link, then there will be more diversity because the pool of candidates will be diverse AND there will be no "middle class legacy" spots.
