[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You parents flipping out about MVC are nuts. I'm not delighted about eliminating the DCC but it is what it is. There will still be choice options for your child to go to a STEM magnet and enhancing the science offerings at Einstein could well lead to MVC being offered in future years if there are class fulls of students on that track. That said, your kids must be young because you don't have to drive them to MC. By the time they are taking it, they can drive themselves.[/quote]

DO you not understand that not everyone can afford a car for their teenagers???[/quote]

The people saying MCPS is “forcing” them to spend 300k on private school now can though. [/quote]

Expecting a teenager to buy and maintain a car just to access basic classes is unreasonable. Requiring new drivers to travel all over the county for the courses they need is equally ridiculous. MCPS cannot even offer parking to all students with cars at all schools. MCPS should offer comparable programs at every high school—this shouldn’t be a privilege reserved for a few.

Why should our kids be forced to leave their home school to access opportunities that your kids already have? Why are we expected to settle for a subpar experience while others get what they need without disruption?

So yes, we’re seriously considering private school. At this point, it’s cheaper and less disruptive than moving—and it actually provides the resources our kids deserve.[/quote]

Wait so you can afford private school but not a car for your kid? And you are the mom of a math genius? [/quote]

The point is parents shouldn't be forced to buy a car.  I don't believe in buying teens cars.  It's silly when they cannot take it to college with them as well.  Yes, we can afford a car and/or private, but private is a better value if it meets the child's academic needs.  [/quote]

Wait until the private with MVC doesn’t have a bus and you need to buy your kid a car to get to/from. [/quote]
