I actually think the county should invest more in the top achievers than bottom dwellers. It will be better for society in Long run.

Getting rid of Blair and RM magnets is a move in wrong direction.

Wheaton is not a crown jewel to get more resources when it already has two new buildings. [/quote]

No one is asking for more resources for Wheaton?  Just to draw the boundaries in a way that they're not overcrowded (rather than the current approach of assuming that MCPS will spend millions of dollars building out extra classroom space for Wheaton in the Edison building next door, and then when they inevitably decide not to thanks to budget constraints, leaving the school 600 kids over-capacity.) i[/quote]

The plan seems to clearly use Edison building for some Wheaton capacity. Seems completely reasonable. [/quote]

Their current explanation is that 500 kids from Wheaton HS will do CTE programs at Edison. That is half of the current enrollment of Edison. It's bizarre to leave Wheaton HS 27% overcrowded and say it's okay because we assume that 1 out of 5 kids will choose these specific programs for half the day. What about all the other clusters? Are we saying half the slots at Edison will be reserved for Wheaton students? That's insane. Draw better boundaries MCPS.[/quote]
