[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also wanted to add that part of the reason parents want spots at these magnets is due to opportunities to compete in national level academic competitions (and place/win). Some of the opportunities are built into the school day so are both curricular and extracurricular. This is hard to replicate at each home MS, but maybe they could provide bussing to schools with robust academic clubs for those schools that won't/can't offer them. [/quote] I know the math programs are different, but the main competitions that the Humanities kids do are NHD and the CNN documentary challenge. Both could easily be supported at home schools if you cohort the kids with high enough scores and encourage collaboration between the English and HIGH teachers. [/quote]
