[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering: how could BOE stops this non-stopping bus from crushing into reality? Or how could they hold Taylor or anyone accountable when everything crushes 3-4 years later when he is done with his term?

The estimated costs are absurdly underestimated. For one, the number of additional bus route for each region only accounts between HS to HS within a region, while right now magnet and IB bus stops at every ES, MS, HS and public library. The equivalent added bus route once they consider equivalent scenario can easily blow-up the ceiling. Secondly, the cost for teacher training, oh I'm LMO when I see those numbers. $2160 per year for training two computer science teachers to manage computer simulation, game programing, AI? Are they sure this is not one solid full-year load of CS undergraduate course? Again, their budget has ZERO dollar toward hiring new hyper-specialized teachers. Thirdly, research internship for every student in the program? Do they have any mere understanding of the current job market?  [/quote]

It didn't say research internship, it was research opportunity which in many cases is just going to be a research project.  Not all research requires a lab.  Many times what the kids really needs is mentors, and/or direction and feedback on how to properly go about research and presenting.[/quote]
