[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is really no need for a central program. Each school can have its own advanced classes. This would greatly reduce the cost, while kids can still receive good education.[/quote] 1. It would INCREASE costs. The main cost is teacher salaries. You would need to hire a whole lot more, to teach fewer kids at each school. Central programs are more cost-effective than in-school programs. 2. There is a teacher shortage. Most teachers are not qualified to teach magnet-level courses. MCPS can't even put certified warm bodies in every class, and it's a problem all over the nation. Hiring enough teachers to staff every in-school program just isn't operationally possible, even if you have the budget! Math and logic. They're hard, aren't they? ;-) [/quote]
