[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent who has a child finishing up at TPMS Magnet I can tell you that unless a student has a support structure at home, they will have difficulty succeeding.  If filling out an application was too overwhelming, there is probably little chance they will be able to keep up with the workload.  Political correctness will not allow MCPS to ever admit this so inevitably standards and expectations will be lowered.

I know that the private schools are excited by these changes.  [/quote]

If they scored the 99s needed, with no support structure, then they are a cut above the supported students and will be fine. Thanks for the concern .[/quote]
But this year's test is easier than last years'. So I wouldn't give too much importance to 99 percent. Even in the old magnet class, let me tell you that 50% of the class was not anywhere of the same caliber as the top 20%. Now that top 20% along with many others are denied. I would be interested to see how national awards won by Takoma gets affected in this year's class. [/quote]
No, this year's test is not easier. The Top 20% got in, your child did not get in because he/she is not in the top 20% and could not prep for the test.[/quote]
