[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS has turned into a total circus with these regions.

Arts magnets? Seriously? Do they not understand the modern economy

I think an arts program is fine, if done well. But my takeaway from today’s presentation is how many programs/ideas the district is proposing, and I struggle to understand how so many things can be done well. Meanwhile, are the basics done well? I’m fairly new to MCPS and my kid is still in elementary but even from that minimal experience, it doesn’t seem that way. [/quote]

+1 the absolute obsession with the specialty programs on DCUM is really something.[/quote]

You must be kidding me, right? Nearly everyone on DCUM talking about the specialty programs is against the regional model for various concerns. They are obsessed because they know the proposal has millions of issues in its details so they are trying to help MCPS or themselves improving or avoiding being lured into a horribly hastily put-together BS proposal.

Easy there.  The people on DCUM are obsessed with the magnets and the consortia and super niche coursework.  They are obsessed with the regions to the extent they want to keep the magnets and consortia the way they are.  They don’t talk a lot about general rigor of coursework for the average kid.  You don’t see a lot of demand for ending the consortia and the magnets, for example, just people upset about the regions changing the status quo of magnets and consortia.

The programs in the DCC that are at risk from this proposal are not "super niche" - many enroll several hundred students.[/quote]
