[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In your first two years at blair, you take double periods of chem, physics, biology,and earth sciences, along with computer science and 'Research'. Then your last two years, you have a faculty person advise you, and help you to get paired up with an investigator/academic...sometimes they are researchers at NIH, NIST, etc. etc. You work for them in the summer between junior and senior year, and meet with them periodically both years as you develop your project, under their guidance and mentorship.

This is how it used to be done, back in the 90s...we used to have a lot of westinghouse winners back then, now its intel...bottom line, we had a solid education prior to the research, and really great teachers and collaborators to guide us....it didn't just come out of thin air. They helped us through and through, as a good school with good teachers should.

Moco, and the blair magnet, is one of the best value educations you can get in this country.

This was BEFORE the math teachers left and they began assimilating the magnet into the regular school.  Read the Silver Chips online edition about Starr's visit.[/quote]
