In some ways, this is what MCPS is trying to do. They are expanding the "local centers" and adding accelerated programming at the middle school level. However, if you track DCUM you will see that folks are resisting those efforts, claiming that the curriculum is being "watered down" by the addition of additional kids/classes.

Honestly, I think MCPS can't win. If they keep the previous system, in which 1-2% of kids were able to access the CES and magnet middle school programs, they will be criticized for gatekeeping. If they expand the programs to meet the needs of more like 10% of kids, they are accused of sabotaging the magnets in the name of social justice. [/quote]

Yup. The appropriate percentage is: the percentage necessary for MY kid to get in. (Plus maybe a few more, so that my kid won't be the dumbest.) Any more, and the program is watered-down, and also social engineering* (because my kid is from an affluent, white family). Any fewer, and it's unjust gate-keeping.

*social engineering is bad
