[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shutting down magnets in the interest of fairness would be like shutting down Harvard and Yale b/c kids at community colleges don't get the same opportunities. Nuts.[/quote] 7:44 here. I think this isn't a sound analogy, because Harvard and Yale are not publicly funded. In MoCo we pay high state and local taxes to have access to these schools, and while boutique programs such as magnets and immersion programs are great, they can't accommodate all the kids who could benefit from them or who want to participate in them. I think the county supports them not only because they are important (or at least the magnets/HGCs are), but because they placate some affluent parents and keep those children in the system. 11:44, I'm curious about what you mean when you say the new superintendent "recognizes the disparity." Can you say more about that? [/quote]
