[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you with young smart kids, you are screwed. You don’t know it now but by the time your kids’ are ready for HS, you will see. [/quote]

People with young smart kids have had virtually no magnet access for them based on the current flawed MCPS approach of only providing magnet spots to a tiny number of kids countywide. If others are anything like me, we are freaking thrilled at the idea that MCPS might be changing this approach to provide more slots for more kids, and hoping it will lead to the same at the middle and elementary school level as well.  More than 1-2% of the kids in this county deserve advanced programming. [/quote]

Correct, more advanced programming is fine but magnet should remain selective.

They’re still going to be selective, just not as selective as you would like.[/quote]

I hope they drop the word "magnet" from the title. This ain't no magnet programs[/quote]

:roll:  Magnet is a broad term that encompasses many types of programs and admissions methods.[/quote]
