[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think I rather send my kids to TJ. Everyone at TJ is bright and driven, it is only a small percentage of Blair’s population that is magnet with the rest pulling from the poorer parts of the county. I am sure many of those kids are hard workers but many won’t be, in a school that big there is almost as many dropouts as magnet kids.[/quote] Wow, that's short sighted and snobby. Has it ever occurred to you that some of these kids may be the "poorer" kids, and even if not, they can earn something from being around kids of all walks of life. One of those kids worked hard at school but did not get in the MS magnet. She studied like crazy doing AOPS on her own and getting onto TPMS mathcounts and is now at Blair magnet. I went in to volunteer one day and was impressed with the politeness of all the Blair students and how such a huge cross-section of race/culture/SES seemed to all work together and respect one another.[/quote]
