[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private high school parent here.  Even though DS went to public middle school, we didn't even consider Blair mainly because it doesn't have the well rebounded environment we were seeking for our DS. And we wanted a strong English/writing program and knew we would get that at our elite private. [b]Heard writing at all public high schools don't even compare[/b]. [/quote]

That's just inviting an argument and is too grand of a statement to justify.  I'm not a humanities focused person, but I would admit that the [b]RM IB program and Blair CAP program[/b] (just to name two) do very well creating journalists who, last I checked, write regularly.

It is a good point that the curriculum at Blair's magnet does not pretend to be well rounded.  It is very focused and the students are focused as well.

I also appreciate that you note that you are a private school parent and have only heard about the experience in public schools within MCPS.  Most do not admit that before passing judgment and it should be applauded.  [/quote]

I don't know about Blair CAP but RMIB teaches extensive writing for 4 years. Kids read and write EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.  [/quote]
