[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The magnet programs have become segregated populations within a school. Why not end them altogether and spread the challenging course work across all schools in the county? The magnet programs have failed in their main goal which was to balance out racial populations in the system. MCPS should go back to the drawing board to revisit this issue but open up more academic options to all students. Restructuring school boundaries and busing options into the more elite schools should be on the table.[/quote] Wait, if the magnets are primarily white and Asian, and the magnets are housed at Takoma and Blair and Eastern, which are otherwise majority minority, then how have they failed to balance out racial populations in the system? They have made wealthy west-county families compete to go to school in Silver Spring. I think you're talking about the achievement gap. Magnets were absolutely not created to solve the achievement gap.[/quote]
