Just curious.


Well, it is a high school competition, right? I don't think the things you are asking about are expected. And just because someone enters a contest like this in high school doesn't mean they might not go on to chose to study something else later in life.

The Blair magnet students are top notch and congrats to all winners.


Actually you are sure, or at least you should be sure, because Jeff specifically explained the reason to you.

Blair has more kids with parents working at local labs. I think you can work with someone you know and write up their work.

I didn't know things on here could be deleted. Poolesville supposedly has the same classes, why are they still lagging far behind? RM used to get a few finalists, wonder why not of late?

Were posts removed from this section?

My previous post congratulated the students.

But then asked for clarification on my belief that the students in Blair have a class dedicated to this project, and doesn't that give them an advantage? What is wrong with that kind of post?
