[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Following this thread as I am a 'parent considering HS magnet' - DC accepted to Blair SMCS.  We would be coming from private school.  
For those parents that currently have/or have had kids in the Blair program, ultimately, do you think : 
-the increased workload /stress/ anxiety was worth it ?
-that your child was/will be prepared to study independently and succeed at college ?
-that your child enjoyed high school / had some "joy" in learning or was it an unpleasant slog for 4 years ?
-that your child made good friends and his classmates were nice kind kids and they tried to learn together or was it like "the hunger games" of STEM ?
-that your child was able to make meaningful connections with teachers (either through classes / clubs) and the teachers really knew your child ?

Np, and yes to all. With that being said, kid in question really really loved (loves) math. It's her thing, problem solving. 2nd kid not so much, and so I am glad he went to the home school. She actually liked the classes and that makes all the difference. Both ended up at UMD btw. However, DD was very close to her friends in the magnet despite the distance. Don't go if the content doesn't truly interest your kid, lots of schools provide rigor and APs. [/quote]
