[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do kids at a school need to “demand” course offerings? Why can’t these things just be standard![/quote]

Funding.  [/quote]

That’s an inadequate explanation. There should be funding to have the same classes at each high school. It makes no sense otherwise. [/quote]

same core set of courses including advanced courses
There will different electives from school to school. [/quote]

There are not the same core courses and that is the issue.   Math to graduate is a core class not elective. [/quote]

Agree that math is core. Obviously.

The proposed regional model includes a set of math classes that must be at all schools.

Maybe that list needs to be expanded?

But the solution is that list not magnets, lotteries etc. All high schools must have the same core classes and the list of core classes must be extensive enough for advanced students. Otherwise some kids will be left behind.
