[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The humanities magnets are in the richest school in every region.

Seriously?  I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that they just didn't think these issues through, but that's starting to make me wonder  if maybe they're actually trying to favor the rich schools intentionally... [/quote]
On the one hand, you have a bunch of people saying MCPS only caters to the rich.

OTH, you have a bunch of people who say that MCPS only cares about DEI to the detriment of all else.

Exactly this. Everyone complains that MCPS is too large, so they are trying to break it into 6 smaller districts and offering equal opportunities to everyone and parents are still upset. [/quote]

Except there aren't equal opportunities as only a handful of kids can get into each of the other schools and not all schools have the same offerings.  How many kids from Northwood/Einstein are going to go to Whitman?  How many kids from Whitman would choose Einstein or Northwood?  What happens to the remaining students who don't get in?  Whitman is in an island of their own in terms of distance.[/quote]
