[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the reason Whitman doesn't need a program is because they already have:
- their own engineering program
- Numerous advanced science classes including 3 different AP physics classes
- advanced math up to MVC (no I am not the MVC poster but just cataloguing what Whitman has, and one of those things is MVC)
- 9 AP social studies classes

So no, they won't be sending their kids to Einstein for biomedical science, gmafb. The kids will be traveling one way in this model.[/quote]

Whitman also offers the most foreign languages out of all MCPS highschools despite its size. They offer ASL, French, Latin, Arabic, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese.[/quote]

Why do they offer different foreign languages at different schools? This seems very unfair to me. I would like these offered at Einstein![/quote]

different schools have different student populations and needs.  this is public school.[/quote]

So, the simple solution is to give schools with higher needs far more money than schools with fewer needs.  At these schools, there is a huge range of abilities.  One simple solution would be to start teaching math, science, history, and other classes in Spanish.  And, to then offer more AP and advanced classes for students who need it.  Not all families are low income.  And, some make just as much or more than Whitman families but don't want to live in that world.[/quote]
