[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The home school classes are not magnet math and magnet global studies, and MCPS doesn't claim they are. They are "enriched," whatever that means. I'm happy that you and your dc are having a good experience with them, but again, they are not magnet classes or programs.[/quote]

I have a friend whose kid is at TPMS and we compared the math class syllabus and materials to date with the enriched class at my kids MS. They are the same.[/quote]
The magnet teacher has had years teaching this. Your DC's teacher got at most, a few weeks of training.[/quote]

You know that the magnet teacher could leave, retire and then someone else would have to start over.  But you win, okay??!!  BTW, insulting teachers' capacity to learn and teach new materials isn't the most effective way to make your point.

Sure, but they are not going to pick just a random teacher. They will pick one with *some* level of training and/or experience. I don't insult teacher's capacity to learn, but you insult your own intelligence  if you think a couple of weeks of training to teach a magnet level program is all it takes.  And you negate how hard teaching is if you think all it takes is a few weeks of training.

My DC was in HGC, and every single one of those teachers have had years of training/experience.[/quote]
