[quote=Anonymous][quote]But that's a big deal to a lot of people, especially for younger aged kids. Why bus them around when you can get 80% of the way at the home school? Perhaps the education won't be quite as stellar, but 1.5 hours per day in commute time is nothing to dismiss lightly.[/quote] You could easily still provide this AND let the magnet programs really be the highest performers. Many parents would opt to stay in their home schools because only the truly dedicated want to get a middle schooler to a bus stop before 6:30 am. Let the students who scored the highest and are willing to spend 2-3 hours a day on a bus go there. Put the "enriched classes" in every school and offer as many sections as there are students who meet that bar. Its not rocket science to be fair. It only gets complicated when your intentions are to be unfair and avoid getting caught. [/quote]
