[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the reason Whitman doesn't need a program is because they already have:
- their own engineering program
- Numerous advanced science classes including 3 different AP physics classes
- advanced math up to MVC (no I am not the MVC poster but just cataloguing what Whitman has, and one of those things is MVC)
- 9 AP social studies classes

So no, they won't be sending their kids to Einstein for biomedical science, gmafb. The kids will be traveling one way in this model.[/quote]

Whitman also offers the most foreign languages out of all MCPS highschools despite its size. They offer ASL, French, Latin, Arabic, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese.[/quote]

Why do they offer different foreign languages at different schools? This seems very unfair to me. I would like these offered at Einstein![/quote]

different schools have different student populations and needs.  this is public school.[/quote]

Yeah it’s public school. How is it a “different needs” thing? Or anything to do with the school population. Even if it’s based on student interest, how do they determine it? I have a kid in 10th grade, and I don’t recall him ever being surveyed on what foreign language/s he would like to study. I’ve certainly never been asked what languages I would like to see offered at the school. [/quote]

as a basic example, different schools have different percentages of kids at or below grade level, which leads to more sections of classes at specific levels.  this leads to having fewer resources at the school level for more advanced classes.  i am not specifically talking about einstein, here, just a general example of why not all schools offer the same material.  i mean, there isn't Middle College at every school, nor is there CTE....[/quote]

Whatever. Just seems pretty unfair if Whitman offers 8 foreign languages (based on prior post) and Einstein offers 3 based on their website. [/quote]

What did you think the differences would be between the richest population HS and one of the poorest? Honestly or did you kid your self that there was no difference and all those fools were simply overpaying for their homes? I mean deep down you knew the difference which is why you don't live in an even worse area right.  The worst school in DC vs Wilson, you logically know they are completely different places even though they are the same system right? But you're shocked a HS with no measurable FARMS has perks compared to one with a number that hovers around 2/3rds on or have received FARMS. Lying to the world makes you a jerk, lying to yourself makes you a fool. [/quote]
