The time is fast approaching when we have to put in applications for middle school magnet programs. There are many programs located throughout the district ranging from science, law/justice, foreign lanaguages, visual arts and performing arts. Ultimately, DS/DD will decide to which programs to apply and will have a say in which program to enroll (assuming acceptance in more than one).

DS will likely pick one of the science or law/justice programs while DD will pick one of the visual arts programs although the foreign language and performing arts programs are a possibility as well. I am debating whether to nudge DS/DD a particular way and the pros/cons of particular programs at the middle school level in view of high school/college/long-term careers considerations.

Thoughts anyone?
