[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would appreciate hearing from people whose children had to pick between these two programs and what they decided and why.  Both programs look amazing.  Acceptance letters/rejections come out at the end of January but there is a short turn-around period to accept.

Thank you.[/quote]

Definitely, RM's IB.  Blair CAP coordinator is now the same as the magnet coordinator and they have had difficulty getting teachers.  Some believe that the magnet is being "becoming assimilated with the rest of the school"(http://silverchips.mbhs.edu/story/12272).  My observation is that they are quietly assimilating the magnet and CAP with the rest of the school.  That would be tragic because the standard of instruction would be lower than that at, say, RM.

The safe bet is RM.  The classwork wont be easy.  Good luck.[/quote]

Any student at Blair can take a magnet class as long as there is space. Only difference with regular program is that the magnet kids take one extra class and have special internship opportunities.[/quote]
