[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're back, and sock pupetting again?

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

Much, if not all of it is true.[/quote]

Lurking? You live here and post constantly.

[quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

Wait, why did Starr need to be informed by a 17-year-old, if you're claiming that Starr himself is the evil mastermind who is dismantling the Blair (but not Poolesville) magnet? I remember you said Principal Johnson "needs" the magnet. So Starr is supposedly the dark prince of magnet dismemberment, right?

[quote=Anonymous] checked the math teacher tweets and yes one did want students to tweet during class.[/quote]

Link -- or even some cut and pastes-- or it never happened.

[quote=Anonymous]Another did admit learning about Cardinal and Ordinal numbers from a student.[/quote]

Link or it never happened.

[quote=Anonymous]Yes, students were given Magnet Bingo sheets during advisory.[/quote]

You don't know what Advisory is, do you? It's not an actual class.

[quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

BS. Counseling did move to an alphabetical assignment. DC's counselor has a PhD. But if you're contending that counselors are failing their students, you need to look at the list of college acceptances.

[quote=Anonymous]The magnet courses are open to anyone.  That dumbs down the instruction.  Think speed math at Blair.[/quote]

No. Many magnet classes are closed to non-magnet students. Other magnet classes are only open to non-magnet students who have met the pre-reqs or talked to the magnet administrator. Very few non-magnet kids take magnet classes, because they have a well-deserved reputation for being super-hard.

[quote=Anonymous]Almost all the veteran magnet teachers left.[/quote]

Utter BS

[quote=Anonymous]Today Blair was evacuated because two students pulled the fir alarm.  Yes, it happens elsewhere too.

It wasn't magnet students who pulled the fir (sic) alarm, is my understanding. But what is your point?

[quote=Anonymous]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.[/quote]

What MCPS reports?  The reports I've seen say nothing of the sort. Link or it never happened.

Also, what are these Saturday classes of which you speak? If they're anything beyond SAT prep - which is done by half the kids across MCPS, then you're lying. The idea of Kumon teaching magnet Calc makes me laugh.

Also, you still haven't answered the question about whether Starr is also dismantling your beloved Poolesville math/science magnet.

This post wrong.  All student get PSAT at Blair are Asain.

There is many weekend class for magnet.

This person is type of parent make magnet go down.  Stupid.[/quote]
