[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the first two pages here it is clear that people do not understand the severity of what happened today.

Let me spell it out for you - [b]Tilden zone got destroyed with the recommendation[/b]

Engineering at Wheaton?! Are you kidding me?! Blair STEM prepares student to enter top universities as math and science majors. Engineering at Wheaton prepares students to be successful electricians and mechanical engineers. That is the difference. If you are fine with that then Wheaton "STEM magnet" may be an acceptable solution.

MC?! MC classes are so superficial that they are a complete waste of time. There have been several discussions on this topic here already.

So the only option for high achieving Tilden students to avoid staying at Woodward will be the humanities magnet at WJ.

Woodward itself is being positioned to be one of the lowest performing schools in the county with this recommendation - it will have high FARMS and poor class offering, since it is given the most pointless magnet. A complete disaster in making.

Hopefully, a lawsuit is coming. This was clearly designed in bad faith. Two middle schools, one predominantly white, NBMS, and one very diverse, Tilden, are sharing a HS that is to be split in two. So the predominantly white school gets one of the new HS, new WJ, pretty much all for itself, while the other one gets to share Woodward with two high FARMs, low performing, middle schools from outside the current zone. A blatant segregation.

Even the magnet placement is offensive. New WJ gets humanities and languages (for verbally gifted), while Woodward gets arts so they can sing and dance.
