[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all so far away from the realities of what we are going through upcounty that it is becoming hilarious. We are just hoping for some decent enrichment to ever come to our home schools... to have your problems (magnet school or cohort with enrichments) would be delightful![/quote]

Eh? The upcounty has middle-school magnet programs, CESs, and home-school enriched classes too.[/quote]

No, the county is considering whether to give upcounty middle schools the enriched curriculum next year, depending on identified cohort. They envision “most” schools will have “at least one.” So while downcounty kids are getting the enrichment in pilots this year, we get to wait, possibly forever. Like downcounty, our magnets are small and have limited seats. MLk just started. So PP who is so upset about their child forced to stay at excellent home middle school with a large and powerful cohort and 2 special enrichment classes can cry me a river.[/quote]

Oh - stop being so melodramatic. "MLK just started" ?? The humanities magnet just moved from Clemente to MLK.

And, just like what was done with CES admissions, DCCAPS chose to pilot the new MS magnet admission process in one area and then extend to the rest. And they are extending it the *very next year*.

(Also, to make you feel better about upcounty, did you know that all upcounty MS students can apply to the humanities magnet at Poolesville? If you live downcounty, you do not have access to anything equivalent unless you live/study in DCC.)[/quote]
