<p>They really have got to STOP mixing selective high schools with regular high schools. Do not mix magnet schools – with actual applications and selective admissions – with your garden variety local district high schools (who have to take anyone who shows up and lives in the district). Rank magnet schools, along with TJ in Northern Virginia, with Phillips Andover and then see how good they look. Truly mixing apples and oranges and they know it, but don’t fix it. Idioten!</p>
