[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Affluent people can go to private schools or create amazing opportunities for their bright or exceptional children (or even if their children are not bright and exceptional).  Magnet programs caters to brilliant students who are unable to afford these kinds of opportunities on their own.  Dilution of magnet programs hurt only the bright children of poor or middle class parents from all races.   [/quote]

It was made pretty clear that the MS Magnet no longer cater to ‘brilliant’ kids.  And there were quite a few ‘brilliant’ kids at our regional CES that were not admitted or even Wait Listed for the MS Magnets.

The MS Magnets have been changed into a different type of program.[/quote]

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

[i]There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.[/i][/quote]
