[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will not sign, and my kids have both been in a magnet. One graduated in 2025, and the other is in HS.

It's been a good experience for them, but there's far too much talent in the county to limit the participation to a few hundred students per grade level per year.[/quote]

This. Regional magnet programs are a good idea. [/quote]

+1 The "I got mine" posters are out in force, including hijacking parent chat groups at TPMS.

No. More opportunity is good and if we have to "dilute" classes that only 10 kids per year take in MCPS, so be it.[/quote]

+1. So tired of the gate-keeping, close-minded, incredibly snobbish and ignorant mindset of people who benefitted from something and think they know best. [/quote]

Because they know the best from their past experience. They know this new regional model is going to fail because of the huge jump. Expanding the current magnet is a good intention. That's why Poolsville magnet was called. But it was successful from many years of investment and Blair magnet teacher helped tremendously in guiding through the entire process. Now they are not even called for any inputs up till this point. It will not end up with 6 regional programs with a small cut-back and more benefit to all. It will be a total mess and a hugely bloated budget. [/quote]
