[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These programs were initially created to compete with TJ and other magnets in DC area. They are very successful and students have great results. 
Now, some MCPS employees decided to make some experiments. [b]Of course, they resolved the problem of unhappy parents with kids not accepted at current selective magnets. [/b]
New motto: magnets everywhere, all gifted.

I mean, that's probably one of the top things people complain about on this forum, year after year. Good for them for attempting to address the unnecessary scarcity.[/quote]
They are just fixing a problem they have by screwing one of the good programs MCPS had. 
They have really hard time replacing Blair's retired teachers and now they will open 6 Blairs. I would not be surprised to see chemistry teachers for example teaching computer science classes. 
But parents will be happy because all kids will be gifted. [/quote]

I don't think they said there will be "6 Blairs." While Blair and Poolesville's programs will likely continue with the same topics, STEM programs in the other four regions could have different focuses.[/quote]
