[quote=Anonymous][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]

Then give it to the other schools, don't take it away from us.  [b]It would cost less than this whole regional program plan.[/b] [/quote]

I doubt that. The regional program would allow only a limited number of students to attend other schools. If the consortium model were in place for all schools, many more students would be moving around all over the county, and the resulting transportation costs would be much higher.[/quote]

Yes, it will cost a lot more than the current system.  They have said so but aren't transparent with costs.  There is a huge difference in schools and some schools have it all, and other schools have very little.[/quote]
