[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btw an equity mindset would mean[b] placing programs in schools that have gaps.[/b] Like if there are zero advanced science classes at a school, put a science program there.

They are doing the opposite. They are putting programs at schools that already have the classes. Then they proposing having certain kids from other schools get driven by their parents to their home school to take a bus to this school that already has these classes to take them. [/quote]

[b]Highlighted sentence is exactly the reason why SMCS was originally established at Blair.[/b] Wootton and Churchill kids sacrifice long bus ride for an excellent education, and kids living in DCC area also benefits from (Blair kids can freely take any magnet class as long as prerequisite is met and counselor approves). CO can move this program to Kennedy or Gaithersburg. It’ll still be excellent and filled with majority of W kids. They can add one more closer to Ws so to allow more access. Dismantling it completely and make 6…… that’s as crazy as it sounds like.[/quote]
No.
Keep repeating that same lie, doesn't make it true. 
The magnet was placed there to stem white flight. [/quote]
