[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes me dread DC going to Blair. Are all the parents like this?[/quote]

I personally think they dismantle Blair and keep all the uber-smart kids in their home schools where they can still flourish.  [/quote]

Sure at Frost, there's clearly a sizable cohort of high-achievers, so the magnet doesn't matter, but at many schools, that's not the case. The magnets provide a strong cohort for many kids who don't happen to live in the bounds of such a school. Frost's success shows that the county's policy to focus on outliers is working since these kids are doing great at their home school.[/quote]

Agree schools like Frost don't need the magnet. This also frees up more seats for others.[/quote]

It's clear from Frost's victories with the Science Bowl that the county made a good choice by keeping this sufficiently large high-achieving cohort together rather than sending many to the magnet. [/quote]

The selection changes seem to be working well. [b]Maybe they can keep them together at Wootton too in order to free up more space @Blair[/b].[/quote]
I think that's a great idea.[/quote]

First they take magnet opportunity away then they will rezone Wootton kids to crown.  These kids are just not going to get the education they need.[/quote]
