[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP up there, please. ame a school and a year that had a class full of kids so tried to sign up for a class it were refused, so we can help advocate for them. [/quote]

We have access to that data?  Where?

Seriously, just turn your thought on its head.  Show us the enrollment in all the classes for each school beyond those available/held regularly [i]at all schools[/i].  Is every level of every non-Spanish/non-French language class at Whitman full?  Same for all of their advanced STEM/electives not commonly available across the system?  ELA/writing/Humanities?  They don't have magnets in those subject areas (yet).

And that would just be one bit.  How many class sections does Whitman need to run to address remedial need, and how does this affect available funding levels for the above (high-level/relatively bespoke class options) relative to other schools?  How has [i]having had those advanced/elective classes available for years[/i] enabled consideration/planning/reaching by families/students that would be less common in the catchments of schools where such options are less well known or simply known to be out of reach from the perspective of that which MCPS supplies to them with its paradigm?

Nice declining to use the reply function so that that context and nuance of the equity thought you are challenging might get lost.  The thought that MCPS should not have to address individual need on a reasonably equivalent basis across schools is flat out wrong, and the insinuation that students in less wealthy areas wouldn't be interested in greater academic opportunity in any number large enough to field a class is disgusting.[/quote]

We aren't talking about Whitman that has enough classes.  Get out of your W school bubble.  Smart kids are all over the county.  [/quote]
