[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MoCo is only admitting 99%-tile kids, then it is unlikely that that population has exploded to the same extent. I agree the program should be expanded. It should also be made made continuous ie once you are in you should only leave if you fail out and there should be entry years where you can test on along the way. For the über gifted there can be special programs but smart hardworking kids shouldn’t have to compete for advanced work[/quote]

Since tracking is anathema, MS and HS' could offer really advanced/accelerated classes, open to all, but graded rigorously.  You'd then burn off the kids who are either not capable or unwilling to put in the time and effort to fully benefit from the classes and do well.  Make it clear on transcripts how difficult these classes are.  Then get rid of the magnets.  MS and HS are big enough to have a least one class of kids willing to take on this challenge, if it's clear to colleges what it means to do well in these classes.  [/quote]
