[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child who would be the inaugural class of this change, and the change looks reasonable to me.

Change is hard, but there have long been more kids capable of doing magnet-level work than spots available. Creating new, diverse, regions and expanding magnet offerings is a common-sense solution. [/quote]
Those are nice sentiments, but your post doesn’t address the actual logistical challenges presented by this plan. You call the plan reasonable; please explain how it is even feasible, let alone reasonable.

Do you have any children who have already participated in one of the existing high school magnet programs? I have a senior who has experienced a CES and magnets for middle school and high school. I’m surprised that anyone whose child will be in high school during this transition would support it. Significant and widespread changes will not roll out smoothly. There will be disparities in the implementation between regions. [/quote]

You had a kid who won the lotteries for both CES and middle school, plus got into a high school magnet?  How did you get so lucky?  Most kids don't get into either a CES or magnet middle school, let alone both.[/quote]
