[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you are proposing is what the original/current magnet program is. Now they're moving to a regional program where each school would have a magnet. This likely weakens the county wide magnets but maybe increases accessibility give the commutes that were needed to go to a county wide magnet.

If they are going to go the magnet in every school then Humanities makes sense at Whitman because the school doesn't need a high profile magnet to attract strong students. [/quote]

It’s too far from Einstein, Northwood and Blair. BCC and Whitman students will get it all to themselves. Same with the BCC IB program. [/quote]

Totally wrong about B-CC. There are kid in the Einstein zone that could ride a bike to B-CC. Similarly via the beltway it is not more than 15 minutes between Blair and B-CC.[/quote]

Yeah, but who wants to ride a bike 3-5 miles each way in the middle of winter? Especially if they need to bring a musical instrument or equipment for sports practice?[/quote]

Conn Ave and East West high way is not very safe either and its all up hill.[/quote]
