[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Having more seats would help. But if the pro-magnet crowd takes the stance that whatever happens in a home school is never going to be good enough, the effort to get more seats gets derailed quickly.[/quote]

This is a very good point. You had parents a few years ago acting like being FORCED to attend Pyle or Frost or whatever highly segregated home MS they were assigned was basically consigning their child to a life of drudgery and wage slavery.

If those parents spend 1/10th of their efforts trying to get home school differentiation, it would be a win-win for everyone. [/quote]

A few years ago, numerous motivated parents tried to get home school differentiation and this is where we are today. They spent significant time meeting with   middle school principals and CES teachers along with writing letters and emails to AEI. They wanted their kids in their home school with enriched classes, not necessarily at the magnets.

Thank you for raising this. The PPPs childish insults aside, they are just factually incorrect. No parent wants to have their kid on a bus 2 hours a day to attend Eastern instead of going to Pyle. I would be surprised if Eastern has any students in the Whitman cluster at all. People, particularly those in the Whitman cluster, have always wanted more home school accelerated programs. [/quote]

And they should have them, [b]as long as all the highly able kids across the system have reasonably equivalent availability of/access to the same[/b].[/quote] They do not have the access. That is the problem[/quote]

So we need advocacy for it along with the willingness to support that with associated funding (taxes).[/quote]
