<p>Agreed. At our Top 100 school, there are many excellent students, but not impressive or comfortable once they leave the classroom or subject matter environment. The magnet school is worse… the brightest kids but lack of attractiveness … The BSs we visited are just the opposite, and that’s exactly what draws my daughter into it. She told us that she was not interested in being more advanced in math and science, and she wants to become a more interesting person… Granted, the kids we spoke with at the BSs might have been handpicked by the AO, but they are impressive and fun to talk to!</p>
