There is something pretty incongruous about folks who are in good station in life now sending children to magnets while they agree that those seats will make much more of an impact for a poor/LMC kid. [/quote]

Only if the poor/LMC kid needs the magnet level of rigor. If the education prior to that has been substandard then your poor/LMC kid is not served by being in the magnet.  All the URMs/poor and LMC parents  crying about inequity of magnet programs should save the outrage about the lack of basic foundational education in MCPS.

A lot of parents are sacrificing their personal time, money and quality of life to teach their kids at home.  Now, if the URM or FARMS parents are themselves uneducated then there is even more reason to advocate for good education at the school. That is not happening but the URMs and FARMS parents have no outrage over that. It is not that they are ignorant either or it is a big state secret that standards at MCPS is falling. The utter disinterest in wanting to be engaged in any thing concerning their kids schooling is appalling from these parents. And at some point, personal responsibility of not having children would have been preferable, than having poor parenting skills.[/quote]
