[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ive said this here before but Ill say it again. I work in the county and the people at the tippy top are not secretive about their feelings about the W schools. The goal is to narrow the achievement gap, and focusing on enrichment or class size or resources or magnet access in the W schools is inconsistent with that goal. They view it as a moral imperative to level the playing field, and whether or not you agree, there are limited resources. So yes, the W schools are going to remain an afterthought and they're going to let parents do the enriching. Honestly, how could anyone look at the MCPS website and not see this mandate so clearly? It's been this way for YEARS. And by the way, they're also not sending the superstar principals the W schools way either. The good ones in the Ws tend to move up quickly. There are one or two exceptions, but at the high school level only. That's why you see a lot of teacher turnover in the W schools too--lack of good leadership.[/quote]

It makes you wonder why people pay extra for the privilege of sending their kids to such under-resourced schools with second-rate staff, doesn't it?[/quote]
