[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I appreciate the general concern about nepotism and entitled connections.  It appears oddly directed to students who go to Blair (remember -- this is the school roundly mocked on this forum for too many FARMS kids and too much diversity) and get 1500-1600s on their SATs.  These aren't rich connected parents.  [b]These are children of government attorneys, NGOs, and academics[/b].

That is an odd quote.  It is odd how pointedly the poster leaves out the fact that many are children with parents or relatives at NIH, the FDA, etc.  Yes, and academics too.  That is how they get internships and that is why they can write up the work of others.  If these kids had done groundbreaking original work you would see papers with these students as principal authors.  99% don't write any papers despite presenting fancy research for Intel.

Bosse, the teacher at Blair involved in the SRP is also associated with the Montgomery County Science group which you enter as a start.

Is it surprising or problematic to you that the research teacher/coordinator at the math science magnet is associated with the Montgomery County Science group?  It seems almost expected to me.  You seem like you have an ax to grind.  If you don't think it is a good program, don't send your child.  [/quote]
