[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is a freshman, an introvert and having a hard time finding connections with these magnets kids. DD told me most of the TPMS kids keep to their previous friendships from middle school. Not to mention, most talk horribly about the non-magnet kids which my dd dislikes. She prefers to  hangs out with non-magnet kids and eat lunch mainly in her teachers' classrooms. She really likes three of her magnet teachers a whole lot therefore she hangs around in their classrooms. Those three teachers also run some clubs so dd joined those. DD plays a sport and made two close CAP friends there. She really likes the CAP kids who are not as competitive as the magnet kids. This is not an environment for everyone. On a positive note, she really loves her magnet courses. The classes are providing her the challenge she needed and wanted.

P.S DD came from a private school. This is all new territory for her. [/quote]

My MCPS but not TP kid also felt that way as a 9th grader.  She definitely felt the TP kids were a clique, but it did fade away as time went by. I posted earlier about my DD making friends through her sport.  That was also a great way for us to meet non magnet parents.  Blair has lots of wonderful families, magnet and not.[/quote]
