You think BOE members put their kids in the system they screwed up? No way! Public school is only their battle field for political accomplishments. See where Obama's kid go? Sidwell

The head of the TPMS magnet has a kid who was not admitted.

What does that mean?
That if you proctor the magnet test, you will see the test and thus know what's on the test.
Aren't they given the same day anyway?

Not the same issue, but I have teacher friends who have been unable to get COSAs to send their kid to the school where they teach. The principals I know who have made cosa requests have had better luck. I don’t actually think principals’ kids get preferential treatment for magnets, but I’m saying there’s no way that teachers do. We always get screwed.

Get this, there could even be magnet teachers who don't want that for their kid.

Why would there be? The people selecting these kids don't have the child's name.
It wasn't a problem for the DC schools chancelor so I suppose it's possible here too.
