[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They won't be county wide anymore. So the very very top percent will be less served. But it will allow for more spaces for the rest of the top 10-15% kids in the regions to go to programs closer to home. Will it be better? Unknown for a while. I'm not sure they will be able to get enough qualified and dedicated teachers for these regional programs though. [/quote]
+1 ITA.   Finding STEM teachers is hard enough. Finding qualified STEM teachers to teach magnet level classes across six regions will be 6x as hard.

Let's be honest.. some of these programs will be "magnets" in name only.  The teaching quality and peer level won't be equal across the board.[/quote]

Right. I think that's what MCPS wants: have the "magnet" in name for many students, but the quality? They will turn a blind eye.

And it seems no one has mentioned how MCPS plans to address transportation for the magnet programs across the six regions. I bet it will be a mess.  [/quote]
