You better watch out for what you ask for.  Equal access does not guarantee equal results.  I have a feeling that many parents asking for the same Magnet curriculum would be the same ones complaining that the class is moving too fast and that it's not fair to leave kids behind.  As a parent of a Magnet kid, I can tell you that if your kid falls behind it's a true struggle to recover.  These classes and curriculum don't slow down for the struggling or disorganized kid.  Of course, I'm not saying that there should be accelerated classes for those kids who need it.  Just don't wish for the Magnet curriculum unless you are prepared as a parent to do what it takes to support your child at home academically. [/quote]

My child is currently in classes where some other magnet students can't keep the pace and, oh woe!, got a B on a test. There have been such vigorous complaints from a small handful of parents that they won't be offering the tailored magnet curriculum anymore, but will revert to the county curriculum "with extensions".

I can't speak for others, but for myself, nope, I wouldn't complain.  My DC went to HGC, and I would've pulled DC out if DC was really struggling.  [/quote]
