[quote=Anonymous]Instead of reflexively getting angry about what your kid can't have, why don't you think about what would happen if every single MCPS high school was required to offer exactly the same classes?

There would be no specialization at all and fewer advanced courses, OP. Because no high school has the room to accommodate that many different classrooms. There is no money to pay for additions to all these buildings (and some don't have the room for additions anyway because they're squeezed in urban blocks). The budget isn't big enough to pay all the required teachers assigned to every school.

"If my kid can't have it, then no one can have it".

This is essentially what you're doing.

My kids are in college and high school, they won't see all that regional stuff. My oldest studied AP Latin at Walter Johnson, and as far as I know, it's the only MCPS high school that offers it - and it might not anymore, under the regional concept. My youngest attends a different high school that has IB, but since she's not in the IB programme, they don't have anything special. None of us in the family begrudge the fact that others have other opportunities.
