[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Seriously? If the richest areas in Montgomery County don't have one of the very, very small number of test-in middle-school magnet programs, that's socio-economic discrimination? [/quote]

The comment was in response to a previous post that people elsewhere in the county would be up in arms at the idea of a magnet in those school clusters. This strikes me as very wrong because these four clusters cover a wide geographic area, have a good number of eligible students, and would be a logical place to put a magnet.

[b]I wasn't aware that MCPS policy disallowed magnet schools in wealthier school districts. [/b][/quote]

It's already mostly affluent kids who go to the magnets. So we should put the magnets in the affluent areas, to make it easier for the affluent kids, who already have it easier. Of course that would make it harder for the non-affluent kids, who already have it harder, but eh, so what, there aren't that many of them in the magnets, and there would be even fewer if the magnets were in the affluent areas.[/quote]
