[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]wouldn't some of the boundary options negate the need for the consortiums?  Isn't there talk over in the program analysis of ending the consortiums?[/quote]

[b]Only Blair and Wheaton have advanced classes[/b] so many kids choose those vs. their home school because of it.  If they want to fix it they need to have more advanced classes at every school.[/quote]

False.[/quote]

Its not false, we are in the DCC.  Our school has NO science AP's and math ends with Calc BC.  They don't have music AP and other things either.  So, you compare what Blair and Wheaton and other schools like WJ the schools aren't close to equal.

Maybe your kid stoped at Calc but for those of our kids who want more advanced math, science, engineering, computer science, etc. it sucks.[/quote]

I'm an Einstein parent too. But you said: "Only Blair and Wheaton have advanced classes." That is misinformation. All the schools have a selection of advanced classes, including AP and/or IB. Blair and Wheaton have STEM academies and magnets, so obviously they will have classes other schools do not. This may all be moot after the program analysis and boundary study anyway.[/quote]

Ib is not equal to ap.  There are no ap sciences classes.  There is no math after calc bc.  They have some, but not if your kid is on a faster track.  At Einstein the VP and guidance counselor discouraged ours from taking ap classes at all.  [/quote]

If you're looking for math beyond 3D calculus you prob should just dual enroll. You think a high school teacher can effectively teach Differential Equations? If your school offers AP Calc BC that's plenty. [/quote]

There are at least two teachers that can teach beyond BC.  So, yes, I do.  its not plenty when some MS start kids in Algebra in 6th.[/quote]

What middle school does that? Go to Russian school of math for enrichment after school. This is public school. We do eureka[/quote]
