[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Is it possible that mcps is finally moving towards a magnet program for the best and brightest per test scores[/b] rather than skewing heavily towards privileged kids with parents equipped to advocate?

And, is there anything wrong with that?[/quote]

Is this failed sarcasm? Did you actually read the *****g  article?[/quote]

You must be one of the "parents equipped to advocate."[/quote]

Anyone who has been following this knows the county moved to universal merit-based selection and away from the older system where students were nominated by their parents. Some people don't like this because admissions are more competitive.[/quote]

You should read this article to see the data pattern in the selection outcome of a policy change only involves the universal screening. MCPS’s selection outcome doesn’t fit with the data pattern. Don’t automatically attribute everything to universal screening. It’s too far to make the logic jump. [/quote]
