[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Maybe we can all agree on the need for more of these programs. From what I understand, they really aren't that more expensive than providing regular instruction to the same kids who they have to teach anyway. [/quote] I can't. Because, first, MCPS actually has tons of special programs. And, second, "qualified" (meaning high-SES) kids can be challenged in their local, zoned schools -- it's just that the high-SES parents don't want their kids to go there. There, now you can call me an "equity warrior".[/quote] Bullshit. There are kids who can't be challenged in their local schools and are being shipped across the county to attend schools with so called special programs. The quality of those programs are diminishing under Mr. "Stamford" Starr. MCPS can afford to create special programs in the W schools area. The problem is that it will make the achievement gap worse and equitu warrior won't look good when he has to look for his next job. Ooops, I forgot. Even the US DoE didn't want him to move to NY. Maybe Commissioner of Education in Cuba?[/quote]
