[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the idea is that only Whitmans course offerings should be offered everywhere?

There are programs not at Whitman….[/quote]

The problem is the MCPS analysis only looks at programs, which are composed of courses. But many courses are not part of a program. Just because Northwood has a humanities "program" doesn't mean it has more humanities courses.
than Whitman. In actuality, Whitman has more and they aren't shared with several other schools as in the DCC.

Whitman can keep its courses. But why would you place a magnet humanities program there? It will siphon off the kids that would do AP social studies at other schools. Why not recognize ALL.of Whitman's assets, not just its named programs? It already has advanced math, science, engineering and social studies classes that other schools in Region 1 do not have. It does not need a criteria based academic magne program that will just hurt advanced course offerings at other schools.[/quote]

I’m not opposed to sticking the humanities magnet somewhere else, but this thread is about ending all of the program analysis.  There are at least two other threads for the Whitman humanities magnet.

This is one of the many reasons why the program model will HARM east county high schools. You just don't want people to share this information. I would love for the regional program proposal to be shut down as that would prevent the probable harms I have described above. If nothing else, it is evidence that MCPS has developed a reckless and harmful proposal and needs to be stopped in its tracks immediately.[/quote]
