[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but these kinds of kids all across the SS area as well. So why shouldn’t the rest of DCC be given access to compete for those seats? Perhaps your kid #1 became a compelling candidate for all the magnets because he got a stellar education through the TPMS reservation, which he may not have had he competed across the county, or even DCC[/quote]

Because there are so many qualified kids, it's a bit of a lottery, so they want to make sure there is cross-over between local and magnet. it's good for the student body. Frankly, I think all magnets should do this. I also think we should have more magnet seats. So many bright kids able to flourish in these programs. Truly. I teach in TP and know several super bright in boundary kids who did not make the program. [/quote]

But that isn’t why they did it, TP was under represented due to inability to make the cut[/quote]

Dream on, Oh Bitter One.  You did not red my first sentence, so I'll quote "so many qualified kids, it's a bit of a lottery...." My TP kid (along with MANY TP friends) accepted to all the magnets. That does not suggest "inability to make the cut." My TP kids (along with MANY friends) also accepted to Eastern for which they were not in boundary. MANY TP kids are NMSF semi finalists.  Just get over it and consider that there are many gifted kids that will do well and benefit from these programs. Don't denigrate other kids to make yourself feel better. It's not becoming.[/quote]
