[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I don’t like for region 1 is putting humanities at Whitman.  I would really like to see this at Einstein or Northwood, and I don’t care which.  My DCC kids could apply to IB at BCC but that’s still the second furthest option.  I don’t see why Whitman needs a major draw magnet.[/quote]
Neither BCC nor Whitman need magnets. They already have all the advanced classwork in their schools that they need. We know this because vanishingly few kids from these schools go to RMIB or Blair SMCS.

Obviously, these schools will attract high-performing kids from Einstein and Northwood (and maybe Blair) who have access to transportation from their parents. It won't go the other way around. BCC students and definitely not Whitman students will definitely NOT be traveling to Einstein, Northwood or Blair. This is how you create [b]inequity[/b]. You try to make everything uniform, the same for everyone, but you ignore how these schools, including their course offerings, and the populations they serve are very different, and so trying to give everyone the same thing means giving more opportunities to the wealthiest students.[/quote]
