[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Be the change!

Make a Wix/Sites/Drive/DropBox and post the content from your kid's Canvas!

(Add a PayPal tip jar to make it worth your while.)[/quote]

this is not going to help much. the content is out there in one form or another but the key to the magnet is selection so that they can skip classes and teachers can go faster/deeper. your best bet at the regular school is to load on APs and hound teacher to let the kid skip intro classes[/quote]

It's out where? [/quote]

it is out there in form of khan academy, college textbooks, YouTube, coursera offerings etc. there a lot of ways to access knowledge. they are not learning some secret stuff at smcs. however they are not wasting their time in school and they have teachers and peers who are ready and willing to move faster. that part you can't get outside of being in magnet itself.[/quote]

OK sure, me an my 14 year old kid will cobble together an advanced enriched education by.... Stumbling around YouTube.

Khan Academy is lovely, but it targets thr minimum-level, not targeting high-academic+level students. [/quote]
