[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]

For those of us not in the DCC, explain how this system is not inequitable for our kids and why we should support retaining it for yours when we don’t had access to anything similar. [/quote]

Your schools have a wide variety of course offerings, clubs and sports so your kids can get their needs met at your school.  Our schools only have the absolute minimum and the higher achieving kids try to get into other schools to get their needs met.  [/quote]
