[quote=Anonymous][quote]These higher performing students didn't have a similar peer cohort in their ESs, and may not have been exposed to more rigor. Yes, such students should get the opportunity to be challenged, but throwing them in with kids who had this kind of exposure earlier on will certainly make it more challenging for those students,[/quote] Yes, it might very well BE more challenging for kids from lower-performing schools, but that's not a reason to create the entire cohort out of kids from high-performing elementary schools. Particularly given what we know about "high performing" schools and race/income. If your argument is "it will be hard for them so we shouldn't do it," then you are effectively saying that poor Black and brown kids are better off staying in lower-performing schools, which is just another way of saying that magnets should be for rich white/Asian kids.
