[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just told my junior Blair kid that the STEM at Blair will be replaced. He asked me "What's wrong with it? I thought MCPS is proud of this program." 
Well, nothing wrong but looks like some ephemeral bureaucrats think that can do something better. That's laughable looking at how they managed MCPS in the last 10 years. [/quote]

Did you tell him the truth (that it will not disappear, but that there will be 6 SMCS programs including Blair and Poolesville serving the top 3% of county kids rather than the top 1%)?  Or were you overdramatic and told him "they're destroying Blair"?[/quote]

DP here but that wouldn’t be accurate. The new programs do not sound like they will be similar to the current Blair magnet at all and they can’t be. There is no way that the program could be replicated six times. There are not sufficient staff nor students for that. The plan is for multiple stem programs, it seems, definitely not for multiple Blair magnets.[/quote]
