Of course you want to stir the hornet's nest! That's your whole MO. You're the Poolesville booster, which is obvious from the distortions you keep repeating over and over. (For example, it has already been pointed out to you that, contrary to what you say above, nobody has attacked Poolesville HS itself, instead they are attacking you and you happen to be a Poolesville booster. Big difference.) Why are you even following Blair's principal on Twitter if you don't send your kid there? It's not because you want to scroll through hundreds of tweets about how the Blair athletic teams are doing. Do you follow all the high schools in MoCo? In fact, I suspect you're not actually following her because what you've written above seems fabricated.

For the record, and for anybody who might actually take this nonsense seriously: Johnson's Twitter feed has a ton of stuff on Blair sports events. A ton of sports. Also, lots of tweets about Silver Chips (the school newspaper), a MoCo mental health event, Washington Post articles on teenagers' health, Blair kids' arts events, her lunch with the Blair band, Blair kids who have won academic awards, Blair teachers who have won awards, BOE issues, and Blair staffing needs. I scrolled through hundreds, literally hundreds of her tweets before I got to a tweet of a poster for smething called Motown Musical that she appraently attended on December 28--not a selfie with her face in it, and certainly not "pictures" in the plural as you wrote above, and need I point out that December 28 was a holiday. Then back to hundreds more tweets about Blair. Honestly, personal stuff seems to be less than 1% (as a ratio to posts about Blair) of her tweets and I have no problem with it, in fact what's wrong with knowing the principal has an outside life occasionally.

This can all be seen here: https://twitter.com/blairprincipal. I'm not sure if you need a Twitter account to read it. But if you're at all concerned about the nonsense the idiot Blair hater is spewing, and if there's a chance it may affect your family's school choices, I would recommend signing up for Twitter which is easy and free. Your mind will instantly be set at ease.

So weird.

Signed,
a Blair parent

It sure seems that you Blair people do have it in for Poolesville. Otherwise, why would you thinkl criticism of Blair boosts Poolesville?

If you are really a Blair parent you would realize that criticizing Blair would only boost any of the other DCC choices.

Just going on and on claiming distortions and accusing people of boosting Poolesville or some other school just doesn't make Blair look good. Drop it sistah.

So much bad logic, so little time! Almost everything you've said makes no sense whatsoever and/or is a complete distortion of what someone else said.

The good thing is, by now almost everyone here understands you're a troll. My contribution was to point out that you're lying about Johnson's Twitter. You're clearly unable to substantiate your own nonsense about Johnson's tweets.

I'm not writing for you. I'm writing for anybody who might be tempted to believe you and now knows better. Mission accomplished.

I do travel through Four Corners (where Blair is located) everyday. Last year, for example, I saw police activity in and around the school that I found disconcerting. On one ocassion there were cruisers near the Seven Eleven bust stop, near the church etc. I wondered if they had gang problems-----for the record, I DO NOT KNOW.

Now, my child will attend Blair one way or the other. But, I don't want to portray Blair as a school like the vaunted "W" schools. It is a very different school and not even the principal lives in the area. From what I know, Johnson lives in Columbia and her kids went to school there.

Let us be truthful to those out there, Blair and its sister schools are quite different.

Nobody has compared Blair to the W schools so far - until you just did.

MoCo police have a rotating presence at most MoCo public schools, and this was stepped up after Sandy Hook. That probably explains at least some of the police cruisers you've seen. I know of one drug bust at the school over the last year and doubtless there have been more. Although we live elsewhere, I do also know lots of middle class families who live happily and safely in the four corners area.

The whole "white flight from Blair/Silver Spring" argument relies on insinuating that Blair and Silver Spring are outposts of Columbian drug cartels. This is patently wrong, so let's not go there.

I wish you so called Blair defenders will keep quiet. You just bring up things that are just not even intended to be considered.

The police presence was due to a big fight that took place and spilled on to University Blvd. It had nothing to do with Sandy Hook. I know families that live happily in that area as well. That does not detract from the reality of what we see.

Easy enough! Stop posting fabrications about Johnson's tweets, about anybody lumping Blair with the W schools (nobody did except you), stop insinuating that Four Corners is plagued by gangs (you're disengenous "I don't know" notwithstanding) that cause people to flee the Four Corners area, and stop using a single anecdote about a fight as evidence (as if there are never fights at other MoCo schools, not that that excuses fighting).

Then the rest of us will stop seeing the need to correct your weird and bizarre white flight fantasies.

You're welcome.

That was an overeraction to a reasonable response to your white flight crap and your weird logic. I'll be unreasonable: you sound like a nasty bigot.

How hard was that point about Sandy Hook to understand? THE POLICE PRESENCE AT BLAIR AND OTHER SCHOOLS WAS STEPPED UP AFTER SANDY HOOK. Hope the caps help you. Just because you frequently see police cars at Blair doesn't mean they were doing anything besides drinking coffee 95% of the time. Are you actually stupid, or is your obtuseness deliberate?

What point are you trying to make?

If you can't figure it out then this kitchen aint for you.

So one of the points you're trying to make is that you don't want to bother explaining your point?

I think she meant, we're tired of dealing with nasty bigots who can't follow simple logic. Even if you're not the Poolesville white flight poster, you fall into her category.

Good bye

No, I'm not the Poolesville white flight poster. And I'm not a nasty bigot, and I can follow simple logic. The PP posted links to various reports. What does the PP want me to look at in those reports? What am I supposed to be comparing?

[Anonymous]

She made the comparison herself on the RM-Blair thread.

What happened with the teacher Jake Scott aka 2Pi at Blair? He used to be on billboards, Johnson and Starr appeared in his videos and poof. What happened? Is he an administrator now?

[Anonymous]

Knowing MCPS he may be writing the math curriculum under Johnson!!!!!!

[Anonymous]

How could the math department at Blair not known about 2Pi? Isn't their magnet program a math program?

? Care to rephrase so it makes sense?

[Anonymous]

I get the question. 2Pi was a Blair math teacher and left under unusual circumstances. According to newsreports, he claimed there were rumors that he changed grades.

I guess the question is how did the Blair math department miss what was happening? If I understood the question wrong, I aplogize.

I am curious, what really happened with 2Pi? Why is no one talking?
