[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] so the magnet program is basically moot and just lip service for anyone on the west side of the county? [/quote]

[b]No, there are a number of children from "W" schools who were accepted to the magnet programs this year[/b].[/quote]

so what the f is the problem?[/quote]

Some parents broke the first rule of "W Club".  They brought up how dissatisfied they were with the W schools when their child didn't get into the magnet.

Well, shit...now they gotta find a different way to make sure they are differentiated from us "regular" folks in the rest of the county. [/quote]

In our case, each of us got a massive promotion and now can consider private schools. We went on a few private school Fall tours and open houses, loved the curricula, teachers, schools and peer groups. We applied and will find out soon where each kid goes for 6th grade and 4th grade next year.

Otherwise, we were just making the best of it, since that was what we could fiscally afford to do. [/quote]

Frankly, this will be our backup option as well. We love our neighborhood and would probably stay here, even if we end up in private school. It's *not* what we want to do, but if we have to, we will.

Oh, and this is one of the reasons we like MD; as others have said, there are more private schools on this side of the river.[/quote]
