[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more the magnet people demand the less amenable I am to them.  They want college courses in the school day delivered by a specialized teacher/professor.  They can take virtual, they cannot travel, they cannot do anything in the evening.[/quote]

Magnet has nothing to do with college courses.  These kids are in HS, not college and smart kids deserve to have their needs met especially outside the W schools.  How about we can strip down the W schools to have all schools offer the same classes and clubs for equity?  How would you feel if your child didn't have access to classes they need and want.

Virtual is not offered by MCPS.

Kids are in after school activities and work.  Some of these activities are highly skilled and if they take off a year, they lose their spot.

And, travel is an issue with working parents and distance.  MC is a minimum of a 90 minute bus ride one way and that's assuming no issues arise.  That's not doable for one class 3 times a week.  Not all kids drive till senior year and expecting parents to buy a car for one class is absurd.

So, the simple solution is lets equalize all schools and except the magnets, lets get rid of all upper level classes.  All math stops at AP BC.  No science AP's.  None of that extra stuff your school has.  Everyone gets exactly the same.[/quote]

You continue to be so disingenuous.  Your school is an IB school, which is why it offers IB Science, rather than AP.  You are part of the DCC and could have chosen any number of high schools that offer AP science.  [/quote]
