[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, MCPS changed from selecting 200 magnet students out of 800 self-selected applicants to picking 200 magnet students from a pool of 4000 county IDed kids and the DCUM penut gallery is surprised that the results of selection are very different? Hmm ... [/quote] If this was indeed all that happened I would say bravo MCPS for expanding the pool, for encouraging more families to apply etc. If this result is because a greater number of highly qualified candidates are applying I would be very happy if they changed the selection criteria so a top performing kid is rejected only because he/she is zoned for a W school that is discrimination. If they are using geography as a proxy for race that is discrimination [/quote] In their selection criteria, it already said that cohorts are used. So yes, by your reasoning, they discriminated.[/quote]
