[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Blair isn't even countywide, it's half-county, right?  So making it regional would be basically like "diluting it" by 3, not 6.  And that's assuming that none of the kids who were previously excluded who'd now get in are capable of participating in the core classes, electives, or clubs that people love so much and fear will be watered down or disappear, which I highly doubt.

I'm not sure if you understand the STEM magnets. The Blair magnet is more of the "flagship" program, and the poolesvile one isn't as strong. They do not offer as many classes and aren't as strong academically. Additionally, we can see that the magnet is already struggling as it is without splitting up. 5+ teachers have retired in recent years. It is kept afloat by the incredibly motivated student body and a few extremely talented teachers, especially in math and physics. Why destroy what's left so suddenly by dividing it into 6 barely sustainable programs? The program is highly successful and will continue to be if MCPS chooses to support it.[/quote]
