Look at the student population that is flocking to Blair.  The population that is increasing doesn't represent a tax base that can support the increasing demands on the Blair staff.  So you kill the magnet to free up the cash.

Johnson, the principal at Blair already killed off the program that assigned counselors to the magnet.  She has lost veteran teachers and she is now using nonmagnet teachers to teach magnet math.  Remember that this is the same principal who danced around in videos produced by a precalculus teacher called 2Pi.  Know what happened to him?  He had to leave the school in a hurry.

By killing the magnet Johnson will also become an administrator at headquarters.

It is a win win situation for the main people involved.

Now here's the thing--the Blair principal relies on the accomplishments of the magnet students to tweet the hell out and attract DCC students to Blair.  When the magnet fails Blair becomes just another DCC school.

If you really want a good magnet education -- this is really sad to say -- the Blair magnet is not the place to be.[/quote]

In your reply to your other post, you're contradicting yourself.  The Blair principal is trying to kill the magnet, but she needs the magnet to succeed at Blair? Okay!

Listen, it's impossible to argue with a crazy person because, eventually, the sane person just gets exasperated and gives up, while the crazy person just continues to spout the same nonsensical fever dreams deep into the night. So this is my last post on the matter.  But I'll leave you with this: In two weeks, like every year, about 400-500 kids will take the magnet test. Of those kids, 100 will be admitted to the magnet. And except for a few from that small group of kids who will be able to choose between RM-IB and the magnet, all will go to Blair next year, like they do every year.  None of those families are thinking the Blair magnet is not the place to be.[/quote]
