[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m deeply concerned about Einstein’s future. The push for the regional program seems to be moving quickly, and I worry that Einstein will be among the schools most affected. I love Einstein as it is, but if this regional program moves forward, I don’t understand how a school nationally recognized for its arts program ends up with an academic-focused model. Einstein’s students and faculty have even supported the development of performing arts programs at other schools. I can’t imagine why anyone would think placing an educational academy at Einstein is a good idea — that program has been struggling for quite some time. This regional program is not only gonna hurt the school but the artsy community of Kensington.

What do Einstein parents think of all this? [/quote]

Ultimately, I believe these regional programs are meant to fail—especially the ones being built from the ground up. If MCPS were truly strategic, they would place these programs in schools that already fulfill those purposes. Perhaps the real intention is for many of these new programs to collapse, allowing the wealthier schools to retain and strengthen their own. In that case, the DCC and NEC would be dismantled, further widening the gap and elevating the more affluent schools even more.[/quote]
