[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the key here is still keep a test-in requirement to prevent watering down the curriculum.[/quote] + 1 Do both. Keep the magnets as is and increase magnet offerings in the home schools. Frankly, there is no reason that magnet curriculum cannot be offered to home school students grouped by abilities within the homeschool. Why not? But you will realize that there is no magnet curriculum per se and the magnet teachers do not have any special certification to teach magnet kids. Magnet curriculum should be made public and be available online. All students who want to access it should be allowed to at least access the curriculum, if not the instruction. FWIW, my kids have been in the test-in magnets since ES and my youngest is in HS now. He got into a highly selective STEM institute of technology. At this point the fate of magnet programs does not impact my children. [/quote]
