[quote=Anonymous]I think lots of people who live in the DCC (where I live) often have an inflated idea of what those west county schools offer. It's the same curriculum -- if it's unchallenging and uninspiring here, it will be the same over there. The difference is the peer group, but is that really significant? I fight to get my kids into magnets not because I don't want them going to school with poorer kids or kids of color, but because the MCPS curriculum and trend towards teaching to the middle isn't all that enriching. With the magnets, teachers are more motivated (in general) and create lessons that are integrated and enriching.[/quote]
