[quote=Anonymous]All grand until DCI students start taking IB exams and applying to highly selective colleges, particularly if they're not URMs. These tough exams just aren't geared to your garden variety middle-class social-justice oriented American family because IB was created to serve the children of European diplomats in international schools abroad. How do I know how difficult the exams are? I used to teach IBD humanities courses at one of the test-in suburban IBD programs in this Metro area. Even there, few of the families were prepared for the rigor of HL IB. Parents would generally assume that the kids would ace the exams, scoring 6s and 7s. Seldom the case. Would that we had a DC charter combining what DCI and BASIS are teaching with the enrichment of WIS. [/quote]
