[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't get it - DCI admins care more about inclusion and racial and socioeconomic diversity than rigor! The small number of parents who want more rigor supplement a lot. Admins don't seem to be experts on ib curriculum.  THe problem is the vision thing pps have pointed out.[/quote]

Here's the thing - we could do with a world where more people/institutions care about inclusion and racial and socioeconomic diversity.  And, here's the other thing you can care about that and rigor - and that is what DCI is pursuing.

It sounds like you want/need a 'perfect' solution yesterday - DCI hasn't yet graduated a class - it is in the growing phase - let it grow.  It is doing a fine job of educating my kid academically and socioemotionally; there are some small bumps, sure, but the vision is right.[/quote]

Both are good. That is why we're hoping to stick it out through the feeder into DCI eventually. And why we are in the feeder in the first place.

But the question is, to what extent can you have both? I think DCI's mix sounds about right, statistically speaking. I hope they can do it, but, it's going to be very, very difficult. Many very well regarded schools have failed (usually who they fail are the lower achieving students or students of color). It is almost like a social experiment that we as a country have not succeeded at. I would love someone to point me to a case study where the school has succeeded. [/quote]
