[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if your children communicate with you but the inclusitivity of magnet programs at a social level is solely dependent on the student's perceptions of the other student body.  This comes from someone who went to GT elementary school and completed a magnet middle school experience at a school where the divide was strong. The divide is harsh partly because people already have it in their mind that the opposite body is inferior to them.  It seems that in this forum, people believe that magnet kids turn their noses up to any non-magnet student because they aren't worthy of their intelligent tangents on astrophysics. No. Of course some magnet students may act that way, I know many people who are going into magnet programs in HS from non magnet schools that believe that someone who isn't as intelligent as them aren't worthy of respect.  But at the same time, there are certain non magnet students who think that if you don't listen to the latest 21 Savage track you're just a nerd and equally worthy of being dismissed. I have made many non magnet friends in middle school that have said "Wow I never knew that magnet kids could be like us too. I thought you guys just do math and work all day."  It's unfortunate but there's a mutual disrespect for one another.[/quote]
