[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A current magnet parent. Even in the previous selection system that did not penalize kids based on "cohort criterion", there has been a very wide range of capability levels among the magnet students. There is a wide misconception that there are too many very smart kids and not enough seats. This is simply not true. Especially in upper grade magnets, a significant number of magnet students struggle. If the selection criteria include the "home school cohort" criterion, the discrepancy among magnet students will get even bigger.[/quote]

I'm sorry but this is total speculation on your part. There is no way you know how other kids are performing. [/quote]
DP.. I don't think that's an illogical conclusion to make.  A while ago, there was a similar discussion on here, and a quote from an mcps teacher from a wapo article was posted on here stating this very thing.. that the change in selection has lead to a wider range of capabilities, but the teacher said that was fine for her.[/quote]
