[quote=Anonymous][quote]FWIW Blair was a huge reason my kid chose the magnet program over RMIB and over our W school. Kid made the right choice and loves the magnet and the school as a whole. It is a big school but that also means lots of clubs and lots of opportunities to find friends outside of the Magnet. As many DCC posters have noted there are tons of high achieving neighborhood kids zoned for Blair and this makes the non Magnet classes top notch. Kennedy or Springbrook would not be as appealing.[/quote]

You do realize that you just made a strong argument for why the magnet SHOULD move to Kennedy. If there are plenty of high achieving non-magnet kids at Blair then they will all be fine. Do you really think W parents threatening to pull out of the magnet if it moves to Kennedy is a strong position to take?

There was a time when no one would consider Blair just like you will not consider Kennedy. If your kid's magnet program gets moved to Kennedy to you really think that his performance will drop because he has PE with Kennedy kids? Do you think that there are not even a handful of kids at Kennedy that could do a more rigorous elective or other type of non magnet class with magnet level kids. The magnet kids could create a critical mass to provide some more advanced on magnet courses for Kennedy kids that currently have no options. [/quote]
