Wow that is an unhinged take. [/quote]

Maybe... but not wrong. [/quote]
dp.  I had one kid go through a magnet and one not.  I would rather keep the magnets for super high achieving kids than water it down.   These magnets are one of the few shining stars in MCPS.  Watering it down, and yes, it will get watered down if you try to create six regional programs, will effectively kill that shining star.

Such a shame.

I'm all for creating additional programs, but not getting rid of the county wide magnets that attract the very top achieving students.[/quote]

+1. I fully support offering more advanced programs in home schools for high-achieving students, but I also believe we should preserve magnet programs for exceptionally high-performing students—their needs matter too.[/quote]

I think the school district could offer regional programs AND keep the Blair and {Poolesville magnets and RM's IB programs as ones that can recruit across several regions. If there are so many highly able students, as the school district claims, this shouldn't be a problem. [/quote]
