[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone will have different experiences and opinions, of course, so I'll just add my $0.02. In my view, the biggest advantage that magnets have is the peer group, something that is perhaps even more important than the curriculum. Those in the program are constantly surrounded by a group of smart/motivated peers who they get to know very well, due to the program's small size and the fact that they take classes together for 3+ years. Combine that with the fact that most share a general interest in one or more areas of STEM, and it's not hard to imagine why they may be motivated to pursue things they might not have thought about trying in a non-magnet school. Nobody wants to be the weird kid doing a math competition that nobody else is doing.[/quote] I agree with you. I think this is the only reason that magnet program worth it.[/quote]
