[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I don't think anyone is against lower the pool number if need be for a specific school, what people are against is raising it in other schools.[/quote] The point you're missing is that gen ed + advanced math at a high SES school is more rigorous and better than AAP at a high poverty center. The people on dcum who complain that AAP is too watered down, too easy, and barely above gen ed are the people with kids in the centers that now have lower cutoffs. No matter how much they lower the in-pool threshold or broaden acceptance, those kids still aren't getting any advantages over the kids in the high SES schools. Also, a higher pool doesn't necessarily mean fewer acceptances. The pool doesn't serve any purpose at all in higher SES areas, because everyone will parent refer their above average children. They could abolish the pool altogether in the high SES schools, and nothing would change. [/quote]
