[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ETA: and the Blair and RM parents who are complaining about the quality of the program declining if it becomes regional are horrible snobs. Your gifted kid can learn with other gifted local kids! They don’t have to be with only gifted kids from all around the whole county! Give me a break. So snobby![/quote]

The quality of the program would definitely decline if, instead of taking top 100 kids it took the top 1000. It’s already a very tough, challenging program that only the top third or so truly excel in. Expanding without reducing the standards will just set some kids up for failure or more likely dilute the program.[/quote]

You're assuming that the 100 kids in the program are the top and would forever be.  You are also assume there is not another 900 kids who could/would succeed in such program if the seats and program structure were available.[/quote]

Not assuming. I’m very familiar with the program. Not all of the kids should be there. With watered down admissions, even more will struggle or simply not be motivated. [/quote]
