[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a weird subthread, but to detangle a bit:

1) Someone up thread said the SMCS program is mostly kids from Potomac and Bethesda, which is patently false, per both anecdotal reports and the actual magnet directory, which shows Blair as the home school for the largest number of SMCS kids.

2) When that was noted, the PP moved the goalposts from "most kids in SMCS are from Potomac" to "Most kids winning national-level science and math competitions are from Potomac." A quiz tour of the SMCS "awards" page showed a bunch of kids from Rockville, but perhaps even more relevant, a lot of kids whose parents are scientists in the same field the kid won an award in.

3) On CAP vs. SMCS, there probably are more TkPk kids in CAP than in SCMS, but that's not necessarily a function of either interest or aptitude. It's a function of SMCS pulling from the entire down county while CAP is only open to DCC kids, and kids who went to MS in the DCC. The universe of SMCS kids is larger, so the percentage pulled from Takoma Park in particular will be lower.

4) At any rate, hopefully OP has seen her question answered and moved on. [/quote]

It's interesting that there were as many TKPK kids going to SMCS as there were kids from the entire Wootton pyramid, which was the basis for poster's claim about SMCS being mainly W students. I remember reading through the magnet directory and saw it was mostly DCC kids which was contrary to popular belief.[/quote]

DCC kids, yes, even kids with Blair as a home school, maybe, but no to kids from Takoma Park being over represented. Absolutely not.[/quote]

DC is a TKPK kid who accepted SMCS earlier this month. They have 7-8 friends from the neighborhood and even attended TPES/PBES with who were  accepted. I think 1 or 2 may go to a different program but that's about as many as the earlier poster claimed came from Wootton.[/quote]

You need to stop posting the same stuff over and over again. Someone earlier called you unhinged and I think they are right. Either an unhinged parent who has had too much wine already or is it possible you're the 8th grader?

I posted the unhinged comment about a different poster who was calling people names. You should try and keep up.[/quote]

I’m a different poster not the one calling you out for posting the same thing repeatedly, but they are right. You’ve said this so many times already on this thread. We get it. You believe this is true or want us to. Now stop saying the same thing over and over again because it is unhinged.[/quote]
I'm sure you are different poster. :D It sounds like you have some issues.  You may want to seek help.[/quote]

It sounds like they have[b] a bad case of Blair Envy and are taking it out on anyone questioning their bizarre delusions[/b] about W kids at SMCS etc.[/quote]

True more often than not....[/quote]

Weird that the folks arguing here are in bound for Blair. Not sure how that factors into your “Blair envy” calculation.[/quote]

Or the Wootton booster is so upset over their shattered delusions they've gone on a sockpuppet bender.[/quote]
