[quote=Anonymous]I have been lurking around these threads and been reading the stories about Blair.

Much, if not all of it is true.

A senior did inform Starr during a visit that the magnet is being absorbed into the regular school.  The Silver Chips column on the visit states as much.

I checked the math teacher tweets and yes one did want students to tweet during class.

Another did admit learning about Cardinal and Ordinal numbers from a student.

Yes, students were given Magnet Bingo sheets during advisory.

Johnson did get rid of the magnet counselors.

The counselors know little about the needs of magnet students and failed our children by not performing their duties competently.

The magnet courses are open to anyone.  That dumbs down the instruction.  Think speed math at Blair.

Almost all the veteran magnet teachers left.

Some math courses are taught by nonmagnet teachers.

Today Blair was evacuated because two students pulled the fir alarm.  Yes, it happens elsewhere too.

Most magnet students do attend Saturday classes and get supplementary help.  The high PSAT performance is because the kids.  It has nothing to do with the school. Look at the MCPS reports and you will understand why.

The RFP is another sign of impending doom for magnets.
