Oh, please.  Someone posted all these MSs as if MCPS were actually offering families a choice. We were just pointing out that there really is just an illusion of choiceX. Very few families are even eligible for these MS programs. Not really a ‘choice’.

And that’s not an argument that I’m interested in.  I’d prefer MCPS offers Spanish for kids starting in K and going all the way through.  As is done in other school districts.  [/quote]

It actually is a choice. Even if most people don't do it, it's still a choice. Not an illusion. There are real actual kids who are really actually in those programs. And even if you wish that MCPS would do something different.[/quote]

I mean, I would love to see language immersion expanded (which MCPS is doing through dual language programs) and magnets expanded (which MCPS is doing through local CES centers), but to claim there is zero "choice" is just not true.

If anything, there is "choice" in MCPS the same way there is "choice" in DCPS or other districts with charters. You have a "choice" if you have the resources and knowledge to access the system, and/or if you get a little bit lucky.  [/quote]
