[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I heard at schools like Cold Spring pre-COVID there was a daily bus to Dr. Li's after school enrichment because it was so common every single day. Not everyone can afford to buy their way into a magnet.[/quote]

I'm a white parent in Silver Spring, and I think this line of "attack" is profoundly dumb and borderline racist. There may have been a bus to Dr. Li from Cold Spring or there may not have been, but I don't see how that's any different from the bus that picked up at my child's school to the horseback riding place, or the van that loaded up to soccer.

Different parents have different priorities. [/quote]
I am a non-white parent in Rockville and your analogies are flawed. Horseback riding or soccer are not magnet options in MCP. Dr.Li's outfit specifically preps a certain subset of children for entrance exams to magnet programs that, supposedly, should be equally accessible to everyone in public school.  Borderline racist or not, this it the reality and it's not just about 'priorities. Low-income kids in this county don't get to go to the 'horseback riding places'.[/quote]
