[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I’m hearing, and it could be wrong, is that[b] MCPS wants to give high performing kids stuck in underperforming kids a way to have their needs met through programs.[/b] But because MCPS didn’t actually ask anyone, they assumed wrong and these families just want their needs adequately met at the schools they chose for themselves (their home schools). High performing kids at well resourced schools also don’t tend to feel the need for these programs a lot of the time, so adding more of them is probably pretty unnecessary. Maybe they could slowly add a few more countywide ones to increase seats incrementally and so travel is not as long. Are we all in agreement?[/quote] No, I do not think their goal is this at all. I think they are trying to propose a system that looks uniform, call it "equity" and leave in place and/or exacerbate the existing inequities in opportunities among different high schools.[/quote]
