[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need a program if only to say that they aren’t excluding kids from other schools.  If they don’t have one it looks exclusionary.[/quote]

That is because they are telling everyone how unfair it is that the DCC schools "get to" share a bunch of programs that rich schools have at their home schools[/quote]

Well the DCC have program that other poor schools don’t which is the issue.[/quote]
Whitman can have their special programs that only Whitman students can partake in, but the poors in DCC absolutely cannot have special programs. [/quote]

"It's so unfair that some kids, like those at wealthy school and the DCC have access to special programs and others do not!"
"Okay, let's reduce access for DCC kids. For equity."[/quote]
lol, exactly. And that's the proposed regional model in a nutshell.[/quote]

"Also for equity we need to give the wealthy schools more programs so they aren't left out from getting more programs. But the DCC has to have less, for equity" [/quote]
Well, you also have to force the poors to stay within their region with other poors, and give them a fake SMCS (which is actually a regular science class with the same teacher. just reclassified) so they can have something to celebrate.[/quote]

Yes, bingo. Regional model = the ghettoization of MCPS... for equity[/quote]

Most don’t care about smcs but we want the same opportunities your kids have for ours.  [/quote]

My kids live nowhere near a SMCS program. We're in a region that will have no established programs, just all new "just the same as the others we promise" programs. Give me break. We're getting screwed. At least under the current system my kids can access magnets at Poolesville, Blair, or RM if they get in. Under the regional model they get nothing but pretend programs.[/quote]
