[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By p. 4 (if not before), the topic of every thread about Blair, becomes: whetherthe students at Blair are Blair students  or not.[/quote]

It quickly devolves into blair envy.[/quote]

Blair envy? Maybe within the rest of the DCC but if anybody from a W wanted to attend Blair they would have bought there and saved a ton of money. Why would people think people are envious about something so attainable? Most of them could buy 2 or 3 of the better homes inbounds for Blair for what they paid for theirs.

The magnet is a good program but they have equal access to that and dominate slots many years so... fact is people at the W’s paid a premium to avoid Blair. Not the actions of people who think highly of something [/quote]

Thou protests too much! :D[/quote]

Not according to at a glance, MoCo official Data
I's been pointed out many times by using race as a proxy for SES that more affluent students even discounting the out of boundary magnet students score substantially higher on SATs at Blair than any W and this is the basis for the envy. [/quote][/quote]
