[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MVC lady has moved on the linear algebra.  The point is the same.  [/quote]

I'm not the MVC lady.

Whitman has 3 different AP physics classes while many schools have none. That is just one example.[/quote]

That seems a little unnecessary? [/quote]

Apparently these are good classes to do if you want to get into a good engineering program. Too bad if your school offers none of them.[/quote]

Ok but colleges know if your school doesn’t have these classes and wouldn’t expect you to have taken them. [/quote]

Fair enough, I guess Whitman kids don't necessarily get an admissions advantage but will be vastly better prepared. Good for them. But let's not pretend that the DCC is this uniquely privileged area when schools like Whitman have massive numbers of advanced math, science and social studies courses that other schools don't have. Taking away the DCC and putting magnets at Whitman and BCC (for Region 1) is absurd and to call that "equity" is beyond offensive.[/quote]

They’re not putting anything new at BCC (IB is already there) and you’re getting a new magnet at your school, actually you will have multiple magnets in different areas (medical AND visual arts) plus you will retain IB just for zoned students at Einstein. And your overcrowding will be relieved. And you can access ANY of the magnets at the schools in your region, some of which are much better than Einstein and offer 3 physics classes and MVC. But you are unsatisfied. [/quote]

Oh and you are in the region with Blair and can also access SMCS with reduced competition. It’s hard to understand what more you could possibly want other than Einstein offering bespoke classes for their 1 percenters. [/quote]

Many SMCS teachers have said they will be moving to other schools to have shorter commutes. It won't be the same program.

Thanks for asking what I want. Not that it matters, but I want no magnets at wealthy schools that already have academically advanced cohorts and plenty of programs for kids at the home school.[/quote]

Also the magnets should ONLY be for FARMS kids.[/quote]

Good lord you have lost your progressive mind. [/quote]

We know you just have a beef with the DCC.[/quote]

Where are you getting all of these high achieving FARMS kids to form this segregated (by income) magnet? You can’t even get enough kids to run the classes you want at Einstein and that includes the not FARMS kids.[/quote]

There are enough students, there are not enough teachers.  [/quote]
