[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a magnet parent, I cannot understand why MCPS does not make the magnet curriculum, syllabus, textbooks, resources, tests, reviews and projects available on the MCPS website?

It is not as if everyone will rush to copy it. Only kids who are interested can pick and choose. Why not? [/quote]

I was a magnet parent as well, and I don’t think that is a workable alternative.  Too much of the program is classroom dependent - lectures and demonstrations, equipment and materials, peer collaboration, etc.

I do think MCPS should expand the magnet program.  In the meantime, if a motivated student wants more challenge than AP or IB, Dual Enrollment might be a better alternative.  If they wanted to learn independently, they might be better served by using books designed for self-study and by taking advantage of online resources.  Many colleges provide free access to recordings of class lectures.  There are also online and community groups like math circles, programming forums, clubs, etc., for specific interests.
