[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing that probably would have helped a lot would have been to make the DCC a region and let it keep its programs. Just be straight with folks that they are limiting the capacity of the programs and reducing transportation. Of course people would be upset about that but that would be less disruptive and have fewer equity concerns. People would be able to know they can access established programs instead of taking stuff away and starting things from scratch.[/quote]

But if the program is resulting in segregation…should MCPS continue it?[/quote]

I mean I think they should scrap all the programs and just improve the home schools. But if they are doing this regional model, it would be less disruptive to make the current DCC one of the regions. [/quote]

Again, you keep saying this, but they aren't going to improve the home schools.  With less student with the boundary changes, not only are they not going to improve but they are going to have to reduce course offerings as each school has less funding and will lose staff. [/quote]

Smaller schools have been shown to help low income kids. It might reduce the high performing cohort, to be sure, so I would love for MCPS to stop siphoning off the STEM and other high performing kids from Einstein. But I think 1500-1600 kids is a fine size for a high school.[/quote]

Cute that smaller public schools (askpposed to smaller class sizes) help low-income kids?[/quote]

Sorry for my typos! I meant to ask for the cite that smaller public schools (as opposed to smaller class sizes) are better for low-income students. [/quote]
