[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not the same thing. The lower performing students in the universal screening cohort were probably very few and the 99th percentile higher performers probably outnumbered them by a lot. In the lottery just by virtue of how numbers work a large percentage of the class is going to be an 80th-95th percentile kid.[/quote] I'm the PP and I actually agree it's not the same. However, you can't deny a huge "Chicken Little" contingent that predicted the total collapse of the magnet system based on universal screening and peer cohort. In fact, there's an argument to be made that the move to a lottery system was catalyzed by the lawsuit that some excitable Potomac pre-K parents filed over universal screening. [/quote]
