[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have the resources to pay for private school and will be watching this closely. The DCC was a draw for us because it meant our kid could pursue her interests by choosing a specialized program. Now her options at Einstein may be very limited and apparently if something like precalc or calculus doesn't have enough interest she'll have to do it virtually. Those are just basic college prep courses and if MCPS can't offer basic college prep courses in person of course we'll look at other options.[/quote]

We are a DC family who was planning to move to MoCo for MS/HS and was looking at Einstein as an option depending on where we found housing, specifically because of the IB option as well as their speciality programming.

This whole thing is upending our plans. We may still try to buy IB for Blair but even that looks less appealing if they are eliminating the magnet, which I understood enabled IB students to take classes they might not otherwise as well. The western schools are way less convenient for us in terms of work commute. I don't know. We might stay in DC, start looking at VA, or maybe even explore Howard County.

I really feel for people who already bought in MoCo based on existing education magnets, lottery, and programming options, and whose plans are being completely upended.[/quote]
