[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I’m in agreement with the ideas of spreading around advanced education, I do think, as someone who has intimate experience with the Blair magnet, that the programs have advantages over simply their classes in terms of cohorts of invested kids and teachers. The extra busing cost for the magnet program is also tiny, the yearly variations in gas cost are far greater than the cost of the buses. This is all in addition to the previously mentioned fact that removing free busing would stop the exact students you want to give opportunities to from going to the magnet programs.[/quote] I don't think they should let anyone outside of the consortium go to Blair. You all have your own schools or at a minimum, you should provide transportation. The magnet is there to boost test scores of the school. The W schools all have lots of AP and other classes the DCC doesn't have. Those slots should be for kids in DCC who don't have equal access.[/quote]
