[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair is a whole school magnet.  Check the website, and you will note that the Science and Math Departments both include statements that anyone can take magnet courses as long as they meet non-magnet prerequisites.

A number of students do take magnet courses with upperclassmen.  [/quote]

[b]Any magnet schedule tracts kids and limits courses they can take with "regular" kids.  Ask any kid enrolled in DP.  They travel in packs and are basically separated from the non-special programs crew.[/quote][/b]

Sure the [b][i]magnet kids are segregated and think they are special.[/i][/b]  But the school lets anyone take the higher level magnet courses!!!

The point is that nonmagnet kids can take magnet classes.  The school is on its way to becoming a whole school magnet.  [/quote]

Someone has a chip on their shoulder.

[b]The school allows *qualified* students to take magnet classes.  Most Blair students are not qualified.[/quote][/b]

"Qualified" by taking non-magnet classes, no?[/quote]

You can contact the magnet coordinator to find out what the prerequisites are.

Here you go:  Prerequisites:  Look under each topic link for the courses and prereqs, e.g. for math:  https://mbhs.edu/departments/magnet/courses_math.php[/quote]
