If you think one or two "enriched" classes is the same as a whole magnet program, then you are clueless about how a magnet program works.  If MCPS brought the exact same  program to the western side, then I would agree with you. But they aren't doing that.[/quote]

[u]I think that two special classes is only one class less than the number of magnet classes in the magnet program[/u].[/quote]

in response to the PP underlined, Not sure if this is the right etiquette but I copied and pasted this post from the AEI thread:
    "Applaud MCPS for offering this new option for high achieving students who wish to stay in their home middle schools but one humanities class and one math class is not going to offer just "one course less" than the magnet experience.
    At Eastern for instance there are 4 magnet humanities classes offered in 6th grade. Students read Animal Farm in English as they study the Russian Revolution in World History. They read "The Good Earth" in English class as they study Chinese History in their World History class and read "Red Scarf Girl" a memoir of the Cultural Revolution in their Literature in the Humanities class. They work on related projects in their Media class.
    Also while the peer group might be great in a high performing middle school there is something different about being with 100 kids pulled from 16 high school clusters."
