There are clearly entitled assholes in this area. no doubt

However, as an adult, you can avoid them. In terms of children, I keep lines of communication open with my kids. They know not to succumb to any pressure. so far so good! Unfortunately, MCPS now has the extremes. What were once solid, middle class schools are now suffering miserably b/c there are simply not enough resources to address the mental health and language barriers plaguing many students.

Having said that, I would rather have my kids in a higher performing school where there is parental support (albeit too much at times). You can't teach in an environment that's not safe. Safety first . . .

There's a Blair hater on DCUM who keeps writing as though the MS-13 gang is checking kids' tats at the door every morning. You should ignore that poster, she's certifiable. My kids have been perfectly safe at Blair.

To the PP asking whether non-magnet kids can take magnet classes, I answered your question on the thread you started. My kids have both taken some magnet classes, although there are limits to how open magnet classes are.

Allowing non-magnet to take a few magnet courses waters down the program. Not everyone is brilliant. I blame parents who fool themselves into thinking their kids are geniuses and schools for caving. Furthermore, I firmly believe that these parents are all about themselves and not their children.

There is gang activity in many NEC and DCC schools. Don't fool yourself into thinking it only affects "those in the family." Most of the fights occur off campus, but that's not always the case.

There were four fights in one day at my school last week. The kids who care are starting to protest, as there's this strange trend toward protecting the ones who cause harm.

Blair is no different.

Again, I'd rather deal with arrogant assholes than have to worry about my kid getting caught in the middle of some violent fight.

Unless you see it and experience it on a daily basis, you live in La La Land.

But if you're OK with that, who am I to argue?

Enjoy your bubble.

Why don't you do something about the decline of Balir and the destruction of the magnet. Start speaking up publicly. Expressing your opinion on these threads is worthless.

Because she doesn't have a kid at Blair (see bolded part) and neither do you. The two of you carping about the decline of Blair and its magnet is something to behold. Especially, as often happens, when you get facts completely wrong.

Nothing shows the decline at Blair, the DCC and teh NEC like dumb comments like yours. [/quote

I work in the NEC. no decline? lol!

Keep pretending the consortia schools work!

Went through the magnet program. It is being dismantled. The new everyone is gifted movement has taken over. Not a good think for a school filled with struggling kids.

No, PP, you'll have to do better than just asserting that the magnet program is being dismantled. Especially if you went through the magnet program, you should understand the idea of providing evidence to support your assertion.

So that's the article where some random student raises the question and then Starr informs her that the county can not and will change the magnet. You mean that one?

<Dr. Starr emphasized that the county cannot change magnet program structure. “I will not and cannot be changing the Magnet structure. I have not diminished [nor] increased magnet programs.”>

But PP, that's only further proof that Starr's REAL evil plans are to change the magnet structure and the magnet programs! Or, um, something.

I will say, when a straight A relative who went to Sherwood (all Honors/AP) wanted to apply to Notre Dame, Sherwood's counselor said 'no one from Sherwood has Ever gotten in' weird right!

You people are a hoot. Edit out the full quote to serve your ends!!!

Starr said he couldn't change the magnet. He never denied it was being assimilated with the rest of the school. He never said the principal couldn't dismantle it like she did the program at her previous school.

This is equity yall.

So if Joshua Starr does not use exactly the words you want him to use, that means that everything you say is true? I suspect that if he did use exactly the words you wanted him to use, you would want him to repeat it while under oath. And then you would say that he committed perjury.

I get why the NEC and DCC have low performing schools.
