[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, Blair magnet classes resemble AP classes somewhat, but they're condensed into one semester, and they’re coordinated with other classes like comp sci so that the subject matter can overlap. Blair magnet students can take the AP tests, although for many classes this requires independent study because the magnet curriculum doesn’t always track the AP curriculum.

The Blair magnet coordinator and team routinely work with the STEM departments at schools like RPI and others to establish that the magnet class was indeed equivalent to their college-level classes.

Hope that helps. (Ducks for incoming from the TJ parent.)[/quote]

Incoming TJ parent here:
I'm not sure what your point is.  Both TJ and Blair claim their course are equivalent to college-level classes.  OK.  I don't think either claim that they substitute for an entire undergraduate math department.  I don't think either claim that the courses are equivalent to graduate courses.  I've never compared TJ and Blair except to the extent of the obnoxiousness of their posters on DCUM.[/quote]
