[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe there was more than one kid with 99's not selected for the Magnet. I know of a kid with a 99 CogAT that didn't get into TPMS. The question is how the kids selected, and that's something MCPS will never fully answer. That's why the system is moving to "lottery" (so that if any monkey business occurs, no one would ever be able to prove it). Now, how random will the lottery be? Well.. The point is that by not selecting the best, the Magnet Program will be watered down into nothing special.[/quote] Again folks: Lottery. The scandal isn't that 99% did not get selected because it was a random lottery. But it is problematic that the cut off for the lottery pool seems to have been applied inconsistently on some undisclosed basis. [/quote]
