[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yeah I would be very very cautious about optics from here on out if you are opposing the regional program model.  even what you write here.

Absolutely not. Do not be intimidated in criticizing what is clearly a half-baked plan with egregious flaws and gaps. Silencing yourself is precisely what Taylor and MCPS wanted to do by enlisting BBC's statement in support of the model. Do not let Taylor win. I am saying this as a Black parent. They are using race/equity to intimidate people from speaking the truth. It's a game.

People who know and work toward [i]true[/i] equity know and are speaking out about how this program models fails to truly deliver on those fronts.[/quote]

It does seem like an intimidation tactic. [/quote]

White women (which DCUM is largely) being intimidated by the Black and Brown coalition (with male spokespeople)….seems like white woman tears.  Optics.[/quote]

White women should lift up the Black and Brown Coalition's recommendation to focus on placing new programs in underserved communities [b]before creating new programs in other areas.[/b][/quote]

It's a good idea for the superintendent to start building more programs at Gaithersburg HS, Wattkins Mill HS and Kennedy HS. He should start with these schools and build from there. [/quote]

The problem is not quantity of programs in those schools, it’s the quality.[/quote]

They already tried putting regional IBs at less-resourced schools. And those IBs are not performing as well as RM, or even the IBs that are local. Why does anyone think MCPS is going to do any better this time? You all are like charlie brown and the football.[/quote]

Many families don't even want IB and some want AP.[/quote]

Why do people keep insisting on comparing the regional IB program to RM IB.  Like the regional IB programs are fairly new in comparison to RM IB.  Its not an apples to apples comparison.[/quote]

What are you talking about? The Regional IB Programs mirror the same structure and cohort modely from 9-12 as RMIB. It is an apples to apples comparison in that regard.

What isn't the same is the experience of the staff running the program, the quality of the teachers, and the resources each principal/school puts into supporting the program.[/quote]
