[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any MCPS kid that can perform anywhere near the top X% ~WITHOUT good parenting at home~ should absolutely be allowed into the magnets. Not everyone supplements with those CoGAT prep schools. Not everyone has parents home on the weekends or even evenings. There are MANY kids going home and feeding themselves and taking care of their schoolwork while their parent(s) work(s) until 9PM or later. When those kids can get anywhere near succeeding then MCPS should be celebrated for at least putting their names in the lottery hat[/quote] I saw on the AAP board that 30% of TJ's class came from just one of the many local cram schools so have to believe it's about the same here. This suggests that over half of the students being admitted to these programs had an edge over those who did not invest in prep.[/quote]
