I guess several posters were exaggerating.  The point I would make is that those trying to defend Blair are doing more harm than good.

Is the education at Blair as good as that at any "W" school?  If it is, let us acknowledge that MCPS education is uniformly good in schools, be they high FARMS or low FARMS.  Those gaps we see in performance between the schools?  Just minor irritants, I guess.[/quote]

I think that you're inappropriately conflating "good education" and "high test scores". Jay Mathews wrote about that.[/quote]

I get it that you think Jay Mathews is a god. The dude equates a good school with one that has the most kids being pushed to take AP or IB.  So, the dude conflates pusing kids to take AP with being a good school.

Just a simple question--------------is a Blair education good as that at any "W" school by any measure?[/quote]

No, I don't think that Jay Mathews is a god. You're the one (if it was you; maybe it wasn't) who asked IN CAPITAL LETTERS if we were willing to write to the Washington Post education writers.

And why do you keep asking about a comparison between Blair and the W schools? (Whitman, Walter Johnson, Wheaton, Wootton, Watkins Mill.) What's it to you?[/quote]
