[quote=Anonymous]I think the reality is that individual high school communities need to advocate for their own interests. The majority of "DCC" parents would be perfectly happy with their homeschool option under this new plan since they aren't interested in or not going to be chosen for criteria-based programs. I'm in Northwood. My kid wasn't able to get into a magnet program, and he didn't get his first choice school in the DCC lottery. I'm not seeing the downside of this new plan for him. Did you look at the timeline slide? The have a 3-year transition built into this plan and MCPS is not great at transitions. They know lots of families will be unhappy until at least the class of 2034 hits 9th grade (and these kids will be guinea pigs for new programs for their entire MS and HS careers--fun times). My kid is a sophomore, and I honestly don't see this change impacting him much. My plan is to comment on what I think will be best for those class of 2034 kids ultimately.[/quote]
