I actually don't think so.
The W's are equal to the [u]top privates[/u] but they both (W's & privates ) are way behind the Magnets. [/quote]

I have a kid at Whitman and a kid at the Blair magnet, and the Blair experience (magnet and non-magnet classes alike) kicks the Whitman experience’s ass.[/quote]

What makes the Blair non-magnet classes better than classes at Whitman?[/quote]

DC's teachers for English have been excellent and this year's English teacher was positively phenomenal.  DC has also had great teachers for history, with one exception.  My other DC's English teacher at Whitman this past year was meh, and history was downright terrible.

It is also my impression that class discussions for my Blair-DC are better and more in-depth than those my Whitman-DC has experienced.

The magnet curriculum is in a class by itself.  The Whitman math/science classes do not begin to compare to the magnet ones.[/quote]

In terms of your comments re Whitman v non-Blair magnets, you are making pretty sweeping statements based on experiences with a few teachers and very amorphous "impressions" of class discussions.

I have no doubt there are good and bad teachers at each school and I don't know how you compare class discussions, particularly when you are trying to extrapolate your impressions from a couple of classes to the whole school.[/quote]

Yeah, giant grain of salt on that transparent attempt to boost Blair. There are more than a few Blair boosters who are very resentful of the “W” communities.[/quote]
