[quote=Anonymous]But, my concern is that clearly the Magnet math teachers felt there was a need to have a week of preparatory work to lay the foundation for magnet math next year.  So much so, that they have had it for many years in the past (even pre-pandemic).  (This was also expressed at the admitted student open house, even though they stressed that it was not necessary). I can understand funding constraints if we're talking about pandemic funds, but this program has been around for a long time.   So, now this foundational work will somehow need to be rolled into the first couple of weeks of school?  I suppose it's not that big of a deal.  But, it's been haphazardly communicated.

I suppose workarounds can also be found on missing out on making new friends during that week:  maybe parents of the rising 9th graders can be given a contact list, and the parents can organize a series of meet-ups?  This sounds like something the magnet program can easily facilitate.  It is not something that MCPS should fund; nor do they need to worry about that for one school.  [/quote]
