[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on if they try to keep a cluster model with articulation from ES to MS to HS the same for everyone. I hope they don’t and this is what finally causes them to break down those walls.[/quote]

What are the benefits of the cluster model? I've heard board members advocate for keeping it but don't really understand why MCPS twists itself in knots to accommodate it.[/quote]

So kids won't be separated from their ES friends if they articulate to different middle or high schools.[/quote]

I could see this going either way. It could break up cliques and give kids different social opportunities, which would be a benefit. On the other hand, it would lower the cost of switching to private for some kids, because going to school without their friends would happen either way. That's a negative for MCPS.

Is there any direct educational benefit or operational efficiency that would be lost with split articulation?[/quote]

Stability is good for kids.  Split articulations go against this.  Our kids are in a middle school that splits.  Not fun to lose friends like that. [/quote]
