[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many of the folks on this thread are repeat posters. Why can't we just agree that there are many great HS options in MoCo?

My kids are at Blair, and they are absolutely thriving. The same kid would probably thrive at B-CC or RM or any other school.

I don't know why folks in this area are so nasty, but why not just be happy we live someplace with strong options no matter your income, commute needs, etc? [/quote]

There's a poster on here that repeatedly claims that there is Blair envy; and many people find it very boastful and ridiculous, so it ignites the back and fourth.[/quote]

I was skeptical at first, too, but Blair's envy is real.[/quote]

We are in the Churchill zone but had one child at Blair who recently graduated. Blair is a great school and our family loves it a lot more than Churchill but there's no such thing as Blair envy.
It's something insecure parents have made up to make themselves feel better. We've noticed DCC parents spend a lot of time thinking about and putting down the W schools. They compare stats like college admissions and test scores and celebrate when their area seems to do better by some measure. But no one we know at the Ws thinks about the DCC, much less Blair, other than the magnet, at all. It's a weird made up competition by one side only.[/quote]

I’m not100% sure it’s envy, per se, but coming to the realization that they paid a premium to get in a “good” school zone, when in fact they could have paid much much less in the Blair zone and gotten the same exact education. They HAVE to cut down Blair to make their choices/investment worthwhile. Otherwise what separates them from those slackers in the DCC?[/quote]

Nailed it![/quote]
