[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before this thread spirals out into further debate about magnets, it's worth noting that TPMS' approach prior to this school year was to require magnet kids to take CS and everyone else use that slot for a second math period. To me, this seemed like a good balance: everyone in the school benefitted from increased math and/or CS instruction. The extra math period at TPMS was eliminated at the beginning of this school year. That's what set up the situation as one that looks like a loss of electives. I realize the prior situation at TPMS was pretty unique within the county and that could have been a source of frustration to families at other middle schools

But it was also situation that didn't pit the interests of different student groups against one another with respect to academic enrichment. [/quote]

Do you have any sense for Martin's thinking behind that shift? It wasn't widely discussed or socialized, and was not mentioned at new student orientation. It just kind of....turned up on the class schedules of the comprehensive kids. [/quote]
