[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hoping to connect with parents who were at the Blair open house last night to compare observations. We really loved the teachers. The students were very bright. Everyone seemed happy and engaged. Though it was clear that there are a few schools that send a large number of students and they were all together. Our child is the only one from their school so making us wonder how easy it would be to break into those established groups. Also, the program is what it is because of the teachers so concerned what if the teachers leave. Would love to hear others' thoughts so we can make an informed decision by the 13th.[/quote]

What are the few schools that send a large number of students?

A question was raised on the future regional model. Though they tried to say all will be well, clearly noone knows at this point.

Also, I noticed the majority of accepted students was of [b]certain race[/b]. [/quote]

What "skin color"? Pasty white? Almond white? Brown? Dark brown? Black? Purple? Other? [/quote]

That was an observation. Why are you so offended? I am white, majority accepted are Asians. Acceptance is merit based. No lottery. I am all for that. Let the best be the best. [/quote]

Yet some poster from Blair in-bound in the other thread still insists that the program wouldn't head downhill starting from next year. Look at MIT: when the "racial preference" is forced to be removed from the enrollment metrics since two years ago, 47% of MIT new undergrads are Asian now, compared to 41% previously. MIT is probably the one that most strictly enforces merit-based criteria. [/quote]

... I'm not saying things are not going to change at Blair, there are plenty of valid reasons to think it will, but are you literally saying "there will be less Asians at Blair after making it regional, so that means it will be worse?"  [/quote]
