[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am assuming the new STEM program will get nothing like the current SMCS with all the electives and functions and research projects?  Will it just be more like the academy style system with a few extra classes?[/quote]

Aren't there like 15 different math and science classes at Blair?  It's not really necessary to have that many in every school, or even at Blair, is it?  Which are the ones that are really important?  [/quote]
My DC who is Blair alum took every single math and physics electives, plus quite a few computer science, and some chemistry and biology electives. I'm sure there are students who did vice versa. (These electives are not all offered every semester or every year. Some are offered one semester per year. Some are offered every other year etc.) But the point is, they are almost all valuable.

You are lucky.  We have no science ap classes, no math after bc and one engineering class and only a few cs classes.  If they are all valuable shouldn’t all our kids get them too?[/quote]
I never said other kids shouldn't take them. I was just responding to PP (you?) who was suggesting getting rid of "unimportant" STEM electives.[/quote]
