Someone has a case of Blair envy.[/quote]

How did this become Blair-envy?  Wasn't the Washington Post article a discussion of this report?  The report is about DC schools - not even Montgomery County specifically and does not mention Blair by name at all?

MCPS artificially only offers certain classes (ex. math) at Blair HS and has to bus in kids from around the county to attend those classes.  If you remove the bussed-in kids and the extra money MCPS pours into the school because of them, not sure what there is to really be envious about?

Those kids and extra funding could be distributed to other schools (ex. the new Crown HS) in a heartbeat to relieve the overcrowding problem at Blair, right?  That way there is more equity in the special programs, since more of the county could access them versus catering to the "Blair crowd"?

Blair envy is a common malady that most often afflicts W parents. Blair proves the whole notion that their segregated schools are somehow better when they fail in any credible comparison.[/quote]
