[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]

For SMCS?  All of them.[/quote]

Really?  It's crucial that every kid be able to take plate tectonics, and forensics, and marine biology, and horticultural science, and like 10 other super specialized classes, while they're still in high school rather than waiting for college?  And if a few of those got dropped or offered virtually it would be a disaster, and worth shutting out hundreds of kids from getting a slightly more limited list of science classes?[/quote]

The issue is a lot of kids don't even have access to AP science classes, so when you are talking abotu fair, that's not fair.  Why not offer it virtually?[/quote]
