[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, many parents are pretty angry about the changed criteria and I think their anger is understandable. There are families, especially from some immigrant groups, that feel the magnets will help their child have a better life.

If MCPS used a straight ranking of test scores and grades their children might have gotten in but instead the county is emphasizing diversity.

We can debate whether this is good or bad all day long and both sides have legitimate points. Other kids shouldn't be telling your child he should not have been admitted but you should have some empathy for those children and those families.

This must be really hard for them.

Before you attack me for being a bitter person, my child got in to their choice of magnet. After my child was at the open house and word got around that my child got in, several students told my child the only reason was because of race. I do know where you are coming from but I don't see any sense that you see the other side.[/quote]

Eh, I’m not an attacker. Despite posting on DCUM.

I can understand why some people feel disadvantaged by the new criteria / process. However, since they don’t know my kid’s scores, why would they assume they scored higher?  Also, since my kid goes to the same school they do, I’m not sure the new criteria even factor in - unless non-CES kids in a regional center somehow get preference, which is not the impression I’m getting.
