[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should get rid of the magnets completely and stop pulling the smart kids out of their local schools, especially for elem age. [/quote]

Disagree. Differentiation would be better for everyone, particularly teachers. Teachers have too many levels to teach now and it benefits no one. [/quote]

Why do they need to send kids to a different school to do that?[/quote]

We need to support differentiation in all forms and stop rationing education.

There should be flexible ability grouping (not tracking) at local schools, in all grades, including elementary.

We should still have magnet programs where the top students (rather through brilliant intelligence/high IQ or motivation/hard work) can challenge themselves as much as they wish.  We should add seats to the magnet program to accommodate more students.

We have a great working system in high schools where there are great magnet programs (that also need more seats), but each high school also offers AP/IB classes, honors classes, grade-level classes, and remedial classes.  It isn’t a choice of either/or, students should have the option to pursue as much education as they want. [/quote]

This.  Minus the magnet mishegas.[/quote]

Yeah, I just don’t see the need for magnets, at least or especially at the elementary level. All schools have highly able kids. I say this as someone whose kids went to a title I elementary. There are extremely bright/gifted, whatever you want to call them, kids at all schools and income levels, not just among kids whose parents have phds or can afford prepping (side note, these parents also exist at title I schools).

100% agree mcps should stop rationing their best programs. [/quote]

I agree but as someone who also attends a title 1 school, my kids are not learning at grade level. They just can’t because the rest of the class is so behind. Differentiation or a magnet school would be great. [/quote]
Your kid might not be picked because it’s lottery. It’s not based on how advanced the kids are. So lottery magnet is such a joke. Don’t expect MCPS to enrich your kids. [/quote]
