[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TL:DR

Parent of PHS Global student. Commute 35 min. Carpool to bus stop makes it very doable. 
Can’t say enough great things about this program. One of if not the most unique program in the country. Will not be able to replicate this gem of a program. I hope they keep this one. Will really be a shame if they don’t. My kid will be done before any change takes place and we will forever be grateful for this Incredible opportunity. [/quote]

According to the most recent slide presentation, they are folding Global Ecology into SMCS, which means it won’t exist (I imagine they’ll add a few environmental science courses and call the job done.) It is a truly unique program. There’s no other magnet programming like it, especially in joining science with the humanities (we need way more of this in education), and the hands-on learning through field trips.

We do not live in one of the W high school regions that everyone on here is so obsessed with. My child catches the bus at 6am and the bus stop is 15 minutes away. We do this because our child is motivated to benefit from the learning opportunities of the program. That’s how special the program is. MCPS is killing the program and they have no idea what destruction they are causing. They just don’t care. They aren’t even curious to learn.

Not only are they killing GE, but even if they did allow it to continue, the rest of the county would be shut off from it.[/quote]
