[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in-bound for Einstein but my kids don’t attend yet. I don’t care about nimby Kensington parents who can’t handle the thought of being rezoned to Einstein. [b]I don’t care about nimby currently zoned Einstein parents who can’t handle the thought of any higher FARMs schools being rezoned to Einstein.[/b] My gripe with MCPS is that they don’t have the same course offerings at all the schools. Offer the same classes at each high school and we’re good! [/quote]

To the bolded: currently-zoned Einstein parents also want the same classes at each high school.  It’s not the FARMS rate, it’s the possibility that Einstein won’t have the same classes as other schools because there would be less demand, i.e., your gripe.[/quote]

Yes, but there was someone who made it about both. I was saying I care about the course offerings. [/quote]

Why should Einstein and other schools have equal offerings?   [/quote]

I’m sorry, what? Why should high schools in the same school district offer the same classes as each other?[/quote]

Yes, all the schools should have the same course offerings.  Why should one set of kids get more, while another set go without when we all pay taxes to fund all the schools?[/quote]

+1. We have one public school system. Educational opportunities shouldn’t be determined by your address. If you want your school to be special, then pay for private. [/quote]

Except the Blair magnet of course, which we all pay for but few attend. Whatever you do MCPS keep that special.

Or should every high school offer all the electives offered at Blair because we all pay taxes for it?

Look there will be differences between schools. MCPS is trying to say all schools must have a core set of advanced courses. So maybe the advocacy focus should be on making sure that the list of core courses is comprehensive enough and that it actually gets offered everywhere[/quote]
