[quote=Anonymous]I come from a well-regarded affluent public school, the kind visiting students would be a little intimidated by, assuming we all drive Rolls Royces. If MCPS truly wanted to help their FARMS URM students, it would do whatever it takes to help K–8 perform well in the core subjects (as demonstrated by objective measures) to give them a solid foundation. HS magnet programs are too little, too late. These unnecessary special programs that the district is looking to pour millions into would only help about 15% of students (the ones who attend magnets), and the way the plan is conceived—placing criteria-based in affluent schools—would not be helping the ones most in need, but doing quite the opposite. The many millions of dollars this plan would cost would be better spent with high frequency tutoring, giving teachers a much lower work load so they can give students meaningful feedback, ensuring classroom discipline, and delivering a rigorous curriculum.[/quote]
