[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is excellent. MCPS should get rid of its DEI programs. [b]Removing the lottery for magnet programs would be a wonderful start. [/b] [/quote] I want the bolded, certainly. IQ and cognitive test scores form a bell curve, there's a lot of variability in the lower and upper 1%. They really should give those seats to the top scorers, because [b]these kids are often miserable in regular classes.[/b] The test cannot be "practiced" like knowledge test such as the SAT, it's a cognitive function test, which is very different. [/quote] Think about it this way though: the 99%ers tend to be in schools with all the other 99%ers, so how miserable could they be? The 90%ers are in schools with very few other high performers. Makes sense to me to give them the opportunity to be with other high performers. [/quote]
