[quote=Anonymous]PGCPS got us into this mess years ago by starting all these specialty programs. Students shouldn't go to TAG magnets in second grade. All research shows that those magnet programs work best if they start in 4th grade or higher. I think that starting the Performing Arts schools and TAG magnets at middle school levels would make a lot more sense. BUT at this point changing that would cause a huge bruhahaha that no one in the Administration wants to deal with. People seem to think that they have a right to specialty programs. The vast majority of elementary schools in PGCPS are perfectly fine and if folks weren't so biased against them they would thrive. Bussing all these kids around the county costs hundreds of thousands of dollars that could be spent on neighborhood schools. There was a proposal to charge a fee to families who choose to send their kids to these schools and I think that it should be revisited. Sliding scale based on income. [/quote]
