[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish folks would stop talking about a certain school being "targeted" as if there is malice involved. They tested a lot of kids. They changed the test itself. They almost certainly included more kids who had not been in any CES at all. One factor I haven't seen mentioned is that, beyond even the question of identifying gifted poor/working class kids, a lot of poor/working class kids who were accepted to the HGCs didn't go. So you have a cohort of smart poor and working class kids who test well that are not in any CES but whose parents decide to make the leap for middle school that they didn't make for 4th and 5th. [/quote] And to me (though both my kids went through an HGC, and did not get accepted to a magnet middle school) I think that sounds like a GOOD thing. Admission to the middle school magnets should be an open, level playing field. [/quote]
