[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I think its great to advocate, I'm not sure if this is really that bad for Einstein. In some ways doesn't the DCC create a situation where the science/math oriented kids tend to go to other schools? So if you limit choice as proposed by the regional model, wouldn't you have a more balanced student body that supports a more balanced set of courses?[/quote]

Correct but even then if you don't get into a magnet or lottery you are out of luck.  Your choice is to go to MC or go without.[/quote]
+1 The regional model would ironically limit choice, and not just for DCC. DCC is great because over the decades, parent, student, and staff have developed a magnet system for arts, engineering, etc, that we deeply value, not to mention a great community. To dismantle it without the opportunity for robust public input is irresponsible and wrong.[/quote]

But that's the point according to Taylor--DCC/NEC have had access to this special system that the majority of MCPS schools have not had access to, which he says is inequitable.[/quote]

It's not inequitable. It does lack uniformity, but uniformity is not equity. Sounds like Taylor needs a dictionary.[/quote]

If you are suggesting that it's equitable for only the higher-needs schools to have access to the consortial model, then why don't schools like Seneca Valley, Watkins Mills, Gaithersburg, etc. have access as well?[/quote]
