[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The magnet components are useless unless parents of the kids who would be interested in magnets are confident that the behavioral problems endemic to other DCPS MS and HS (fights, students roaming the halls between classes, general chaos caused by lack of meaningful administrative discipline and teacher fears of being assaulted by the junior thug population (both male and female)) are dealt with.

Disagree, as long as magnet campuses are separate. Test-in schools setting a high bar for academic admission requirements should only admit serious students, even if they come from all Wards.

But crime/violence could be a bit of an issue for co-located schools.

And please-- let's build these magnet schools near Metro stations!! Not just a bus route or two winding well beyond the urban core with service at 20-30 minute intervals! Charter schools have been selecting remote locations because of cost, but for older students who should be using public transit, that's not much good. Lots of Ward 1 and 2 educated families who wish to stay urban and expect better transit options![/quote]
