[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But each school has its own pie (per budgets). And schools all don’t have the same needs or demands.  It is truly odd to demand that everything be the same when not all schools have the same needs.  [/quote]

There is a difference between:
- Offering the exact same number of sections for each course at every school. Nobody is suggesting this. 
And
- Offering the opportunity for every MCPS student to access the same courses at their home schools - this is what people want. There are kids of every level at every school, but the cohorts at each level are different sizes. You can't say the 50 kids at Whitman "need" a class but 20 similar kids at Kennedy do not need that class.[/quote]

What is the list of courses beyond what is offered that you desire and how would lack of demand for such courses work if it were to happen?  From where in a school budget should the funds come?  What would you get rid of at your school?[/quote]

MCPS should be doing the course analysis. If you are curious, look it up, many schools put their course bulletins online.

The budget comes from not doing these dumb regional programs.[/quote]

MCPS has done the course analysis and is offering a set of the same courses at all schools.  So we are all set, then, and no one should have a problem.  [/quote]

False. They have not analyzed courses. They have analyzed certain programs and are pretending to make it all equal (but using the word equity since they apparently don't have a dictionary).[/quote]

No, true.  The courses are all right here:

This is not a course analysis. It does not tell you what is offered at each school or how many kids are enrolled in each course at each school. This is just a list of courses. Why would you lie about this?[/quote]

No one’s lying.  Or maybe you are just deciding what analysis is and not telling anyone your definition.

I think principals and school administrators figure out the needs of their schools and can figure out how to work towards the needs of their student populations.  The results are whats offered at schools, which as you can see from that long document, is complicated by needing to offer multiple tracks and lots of offerings.[/quote]

Principals should look out for all students but they don’t.  They can only make so much work with limited staffing.  [/quote]
