[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HS programs are still reviewed at respective schools..not at Central office.

Kids can still get into multiple schools.[/quote]

Not this year. They will be reviewed by the central office. This is the first year. [/quote]

The only help I gave DD on the test was to remind her not to leak anywhere in the essay her Asian heritage. And she rolled her eyes like I was so ignorant thinking she didn't know that already. Pretty funny, huh? [/quote]
That was a smart move!! Otherwise she would have written, in 5 paragraphs, that because she is Asian she's been going to prep classes every single weekend since she was 3 and therefore deserves to be in a magnet program.
You sound dumb. Are you sure you're actually Asian? :roll:  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

Does it really make you feel better to think that all (or most) Asian kids going to prep classes is the reason why they do well statistically at school (in all grades and all subjects)? I wonder what the psychological base such need is? BTW, DS never went to any prep class because we feel they are way overpriced, but if it is so effective raising students' school performance, MCPS should consider to pay for struggling students to take. Sounds like an easy solution to close the achievement gap without lowering the bar. [/quote]
