[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. It S crowded. We are in-zone, but I can tell you that the IB program is extremely demanding.  A ton of kids complete the paltry minimum required to stay without completing the program.  I wouldn't be surprised if the rules change.

Not all kids can handle the workload of a WL IB diploma,

Do they boot them out if they drop/can't handle IB???? That's the only fair thing to do for those that paid in-zone.[/quote]

I talked to a WL teacher recently who said that some students who transfer to WL, supposedly for the IB program, stop taking IB classes altogether and that the school has not been good about weeding them out.  Hopefully that will change very soon.  [/quote]

The condition of the transfer is that the student commits to taking a certain minimum number of IB courses over the HS years. If the student does not take that minimum he or she is supposed to return to the assigned base HS. It's very clear in the transfer documents. [/quote]

Good.  I'm sick of people lying and cheating the system and making my kids schools more over-crowded.[/quote]
