[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not supportive of school choice which this petition supports, so not signing.  School choice leads to degradation of less desired schools and limits the options of less resources kids.[/quote]

I am not sure which petition you are referring to. But respectfully, I suggest you read the One Step at a Time petition again. It DOES NOT advocate for school choice. It simply points out the unilateral elimination of the DCC. The requests being made are at the bottom - separate the boundary and academic programs implementation, delay programs rollout, and add more boundary options that spread change across the county.

+1 this is very nuanced and complex which I think MCPS is taking advantage of. School choice is bad, I agree. However, it has supported specialized programs and advanced coursework in the DCC (which Whitman and BCC have at the home schools). Now they are proposing taking that system away and putting fewer resources in its place while increasing resources at Whitman and BCC. On top of that they are expanding a form of school choice to the entire county. So if you don't like school choice, you should sign this petition which advocates for slowing this expansion of school choice.[/quote]
