[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 pproblem 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]

Please save us the holier than thou screed.   If City leaders really cared about inclusion and socioeconomic diversity in schools, they'd work harder to provide challenge for the most capable students, who are mostly white and high SES.

Sounds like you're happy to believe that slamming parents who aren't impressed with DCI as those in search of perfect solutions will improve matters. Not the case.  As a native Mandarin speaker, I see a mountain of dysfunction when I try to speak to bright DCI Chinese track high schoolers who can't hold down a pretty basic conversation in Chinese.  As a professional in a STEM field, I wasn't satisfied with middle school math challenge, not even close.  DCI can grow for a decade at this rate without doing a fine job of educating the strongest students. We bailed shaking our heads.[/quote]
