[quote=Anonymous]Ok, hear me out. I'm actually kind of in favor of an option that could accommodate more students, even if it is a somewhat watered-down version. My child was in CES in elementary school and is now at Takoma Park. We are from the Paint Branch cluster and so our commute to and from Takoma Park is a nightmare. My kid loves Takoma Park, but is probably not a tippy-top performer and has (had?) her sights set on Blair though I don't think she is enough of a math/science/computer science whiz for that program (though she gets all A's). She just really needs something better than what she'd get at her home school (Banneker). Maybe keep 1-2 programs for the true tippy top or the top performers, but those of us who have crappy home schools want better for our bright children, and there are more of them that the current system can accomodate. I'd be thrilled to have Blair-lite programs to choose from.

This is public school we're talking about. As others have said, plate tectonics can wait utnil college. [/quote]
