[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is what I find interesting, the non-magnet blair students want the ability to open up the magnet program to students that were not accepted into the program.  If they really wanted it opened up to more students, they would want a whole school magnet that could allow significantly more students (TJ in Virginia and Stuyvesant in NYC), however it is these same Blair families that would be screaming to keep the magnet in their school because they think it improves their school statistics.[/quote]

I don't think there is a giant groundswell for non-magnet kids to take magnet classes. I think the kids and parents like having some of the best teachers and brightest students in the area within the school, even if they don't mingle every class. Blair has a national reputation, for which a few hundred students and a handful of teachers are mostly responsible, but like all public schools there are excellent students and the opportunity exists even if only a few can take advantage.[/quote]
