[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like the new process so much better. The old MS magnet application asked, among other things, what state and national awards your *5th grader* had won. There were three blank lines for filling this in. And we wonder why there are Tiger parents.[/quote]

Both my 5th graders (at the time) had the equivalent of a national award and several state level achievements. It made a difference I think. [/quote]

That’s ridiculous. I had none of those things and still got into Andover for HS. Why should MCPS have higher expectations for its magnet programs?[/quote]

You got into Andover HS 30 years ago! You didnt have to compete with students from Asian, Russian, and East Europe immigrant families then.  Actually, you may still make it now because those kids who are much better than you are not applying because their family cannot afford it.

MoCo doesn’t have a black elite. I say this as a MC AA. There are wealthy black people here, but fragmented into too many groups to wield any power.[/quote]
