[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we want our kids to have equal academic opportunities? You really have to ask that?[/quote] No- I did not say that. How would having a regional program at a different school prevent East county students from having equal academic opportunities? I am only asking why the academic programs MUST be in high FARMS schools according to those in the DCC who have already had increased access to programs for years? [/quote] Because equity is not about equality. East county students disproportionally have a hard time traveling fitter. Fewer have cars, have jobs and need to watch siblings. Putting those programs at Whitman would exacerbate the "poor kids have to travel here to the "good school" mentality as well". [/quote] With younger students, they also aren't driving and parents may not have flexibility to drive them. Also, after school activities, sports, etc.[/quote]
