[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is part of my fear especially after reading about the TPMS. This makes me sad as a parent! We want our kids to have a fulfilling high school experience with friendship and not to feel isolated. I am wondering if I should discourage her from accepting the Blair SMAC. Mine is not even coming from an MCPS middle school. [/quote]

My DC is at TPMS magnet right now, and plans to accept the offer from Blair SMACS. Although probably 1/3-1/2 of his classmates will land with the same program, it's not like the 40 kids are close friends. Typically every child will have 1-10 close friends to play together. In my DC's case, his closest friends are from the two EC teams he actively involves with, and he just barely recognizes other classmates but never talks with them.

For your kid, if he/she is extravort, it's generally easier. Or otherwise, I'd suggest to involve in some popular clubs or sports teams at Blair to get familiarized with other kids. At their age, I don't observe exclusiveness but rather gathering with friends with common interests. [/quote]
