[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nearly every thread about gifted education, magnet programs and/or Blair gets derailed by one person who seems to be obsessed with the principal.  This person also wants to convince people that the Blair math and science magnet is getting "dumbed down" (a phrase he/she often uses) despite numerous posts by other magnet parents that clearly refute his/her claims.  Even if you can show this is not the case this person does not care - he/she just keeps repeating their assertions.  So, it might be more constructive to simply set the record straight and then disengage.  [/quote]

I have been reading these threads for a long time.  It seems that there is a group intent on making sure Blair is not looked at.

There are serious problems at the school.  Some of our kids didn't get their college applications processed properly.  This happened after the magnet counsellors were removed.  And yes ... a senior did tell Starr that the magnet is being absorbed into the main school.  [b]Many parents don't want to provide any "proof" that some of you demand because our experience at Blair is proof enough[/b].

It is dumb to assume on an anonymous forum that you can say who is writing about Blair.  Nor can you say how many are.

Blair is a lost cause fro many of us.  [/quote]

Well that certainly sounds legit! If only this was the level of proof required in our judicial system, trials would go a lot faster.

Honey, you are on an anonymous forum and [b]you think the world is come to your feet with 'proof required in our judicial system'[/b]?  Everyone at that school knows what is happening.  The OLO is right about middle class flight.[/quote]

No, I think if you're going to lob ridiculous assertions--like one about magnet students spending their days playing bingo--you should be able to back it up. It's not a high bar.[/quote]
