Way to go Blair!

Seriously? Are these kids able to do groundbreaking research in just two months or so? How come we never hear of them going on to achieve extraordinary things?

How come I don't see peer reviewed papers on the winning topics with these students as the principal author?

Just curious.

My previous post congratulated the students.

But then asked for clarification on my belief that the students in Blair have a class dedicated to this project, and doesn't that give them an advantage? What is wrong with that kind of post?

I posted a factual news article about Hispanic students having sex in the stairwell from the Washington Post and it was deleted too. Not sure why all these things are being deleted.

The Blair magnet students are top notch and congrats to all winners.

I didn't know things on here could be deleted. Poolesville supposedly has the same classes, why are they still lagging far behind? RM used to get a few finalists, wonder why not of late?

Blair has the Potomac and Bethesda kids. Poolsville kids come from northern montgomery county.

Blair has more kids with parents working at local labs. I think you can work with someone you know and write up their work.

Actually you are sure, or at least you should be sure, because Jeff specifically explained the reason to you.

Well, it is a high school competition, right? I don't think the things you are asking about are expected. And just because someone enters a contest like this in high school doesn't mean they might not go on to chose to study something else later in life.
