[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the “special programs” are used to pull kids from the rich (W schools) into the less funded schools. They are the last vestiges of integration and busing programs, made attractive.[/quote] So why can’t the W schools be used to attract kids from the “less funded” schools? Shouldn’t all MCPS students be offered the same opportunities?[/quote] There aren’t seats. The use the magnets to pull kids into schools that are otherwise undersubscribed like RM. there was some talk about making the new Woodward High a magnet but they didn’t want to put the money into it to make it happen. If they pulled out of neighborhood kids into a school like WJ, they couldn’t fit the neighborhood kids (which already are overflowing the school). [/quote] The "poor" schools with programs are also overcrowded[/quote]
