[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three regions defeats the whole idea, which is reducing the travel distance to the magnets.  [/quote]

I thought that the main idea was to improve accessibility and open new magnet spots for deserving students. It was silly of me to think that this had some noble an deeper objectives that simply reducing travel inconveniences.[/quote]

reducing travel distance = improve accessibility

[/quote]

Travel is minor cosmetic measure. Accessibility means giving deserving students access to advanced programs. And from that perspective, number of magnet spots is what matters (assuming magnets maintain academic rigor). But it seems that academic rigor and program quality are not important and what is important is distance to school. But in that case why even bother with magnets.[/quote]

I'll let everyone know that travel is a minor cosmetic measure that in no way impedes less-resourced kids from utilizing the magnets.

It's weird because you are arguing that one major thing that impedes accessbility is "cosmetic".  And you are arguing this somehow from a high horse.[/quote]
