[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the disappointment of those who feel unfairly excluded, but the expansion of the pool was to eliminate the barrier to entry that only those students/parents "in the know" and with parents who could shepherd kids through essays and write their own essays, too, were able to access these magnet programs.

No selection system is perfect, but the system was not "fair" before - not enough slots, not enough access for ALL students in MCPS.

Channel your anger to fix the problem:  Fight for more enriched programming in all MSes![/quote]

I don't think the real anger is because of the rejection. The way MCPS hiding the raw scores kinda suggests that it's not because the rejected have lower end of 99% and the accepted higher end. If MCPS release all the data, and it supports that it's the smartest who were accepted, parents will have to accept the results happy or not. Now it's more like MCPS dictates. [/quote]

Yes, exactly.[/quote]
