[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MCPS's goal is to stop fighting for seats for magnet programs, it can just add programs. It does not need to enact a regional model.[/quote]

Or, they can have advanced and equal course offerings at all schools.[/quote]

Equality is not equitable. [/quote]

What is the context for your comment? Maybe it’s not serious. I think having advanced and equal course offerings at all schools would be both equal and equitable. More importantly, we could dispense with either word and call it fair. [/quote]

I am entirely serious. Let's take a look at regional IB programs (NOT Richard Montgomery), beginning on testing results starting at Table D3.

Compare BCC results and for example, Springbrook results. Equal IB programs, but not equal results. Now I ask you to reflect on why that occurs.[/quote]

I don’t know those schools or programs. That sounds like it’s less about course offerings and more about academic supports. I know that I think it’s unfair and makes no sense that high schools in MCPS don’t have equal course offerings so that some schools don’t go up as high in advanced course options, like I’ve heard about with Einstein and math.

The minimum math offering should be multivariable.  [/quote]
