But I’m sorry, you can’t ignore the role of the private schools.

Are you bored? You seem to travel thread to thread talking about Woodward non-existent arts magnet. I saw the press video. The former president of the Strathmore Arts program was on a committee not to make Woodward an arts magnet but to expand the “A in STEAM” across the county and the committee was even assembled yet. Woodward is in CONSIDERATION for this program but so is Einstein and Blake because they were the main inspiration for this program. I actually wouldn’t be surprise if it goes to Einstein to match their Visual Arts Program and bring up testing in that school. Stop being a troll, you are apart of the small handful who want Woodward to be an arts magnet. I wouldn’t be surprise if your also the Kennedy troll.

Am not the pp, but Woodward is absolutely going to he a performing arts magnet in partnership with Strathmore. Designers/architects already working on the design and it will be awesome!

I’m the OP. I left the thread after people accused me of claiming that only the poorer kids misbehave. Forgive me, I used the wrong language. Look at today’s thread started by a teacher who asks, “MCPS teachers: what kind of abuse goes on in your building?” THIS abuse is what I called “misbehavior.” MCPS must make adjustments to its experiment with “Positive Behavioral Interventions” to reinstate expulsions, suspensions and beef up counseling and alternative schools before experimenting with boundaries. It is not all kumbaya with the top students like shown at cluster meeting. The abusers and their families are not speaking before the BoE.

I can do that because there are no apartments near my house and my neighborhood is socioeconomically homogeneous. #ProudSJW #Nopurpleline #NIMBY #Nometro

Nah. You're thinking to yourself, "But my property values!!!!!!!"
