[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just told my junior Blair kid that the STEM at Blair will be replaced. He asked me "What's wrong with it? I thought MCPS is proud of this program." Well, nothing wrong but looks like some ephemeral bureaucrats think that can do something better. That's laughable looking at how they managed MCPS in the last 10 years. [/quote] Did you tell him the truth (that it will not disappear, but that there will be 6 SMCS programs including Blair and Poolesville serving the top 3% of county kids rather than the top 1%)? Or were you overdramatic and told him "they're destroying Blair"?[/quote] Competition brings greatness. Harder the competition better the outcome. This is how these kids at Blair and RM function. They push each other hard, exactly as in sports. And they enjoy this challenge like athletes do. Hard to understand from outside. Spreading the "magnet" to 6 schools will dilute the competition. There will be no magnet anymore but 6 advanced programs. [/quote]
