[quote=Anonymous]09:57 You get ahead of yourself. Teach these kids how to read, write, speak in proper English and perform basic math tasks and then get back to me with Latin, geography, art and music. My children would not benefit from the elimination of magnets. My DC is performing at the high school level in math and is in the 3rd grade. These kids have as much right to be catered to as the kids in the 3rd grade who cannot read or do math manipulations at a grade appropriate level. To me the mindset that would eliminate magnet and special programs is equivalent to the flat earth society. The world is not flat and eliminating these programs which are mostly funded through parental fundraising and external grant money not DCPS money will not save the underperforming schools. Those underperforming schools get a disproportionate amount of DC and federal funds as compared to better performing special schools. [/quote]
