[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Some students are more prepared than others to handle the workload.  Preparedness starts in elementary and middle school -- and not upon admission to a high school magnet program in math and sciences (les jeux sont faits).

+100.

However, if u decide to go in...go in with a lot of prep in the summer, and a team of tutors to see him through.  Get the team in place WAAYYYY before the kid joins Blair.  Seriously...this is the best advice I can give to anyone going to Blair, Poolsville or RM.

+ points of the program - an almost athletic dedication with which the top guys work for the Science, Math, Robotics competition.

Reasons to not go in the program - Your kid could graduate with tough courses in his home school and a 4.0 GPA...something that the magnet schools don't give to most kids in the program.

So - what is the end goal?  If it is to get into Ivy...maybe a home school is better...and if it is to survive Ivy...magnet is better.

Tough call![/quote]
