[quote=Anonymous]If you have a bright, curious kid who has the stamina for compressed science classes and is creative and expressive, you are golden.  Blair has space for kids who are intelligent and curious but not necessarily want to take all of the most advanced math/science/comp sci classes.  I have seen this.  There are some classes that will seem tedious if the kids are not into it -- even STEM kids who like just one particular branch of science (e.g. Bio. ) may not care for most advanced branch of another science (e.g., math or physics).  But, the key is to be curious, intelligent, and have stamina (quick processing).  The magnet teachers are a treasure (for the most part) and seem to make the subjects come alive!

If your non-STEM kid gets into a STEM-magnet (assuming the stats are there), the kid should go in with an open mind.  Investigate the upper-level magnet courses and see if any of those topics spark joy.  If not, pass. You will simply be putting a square peg in a round hole.[/quote]
