[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just need to insert some facts for the benefit of people who are reading here that “Einstein has no STEM.” They have AP Calc and Stats, and 2-year sequences of IB Chem, IB Bio, and IB Physics. My Einstein grad is thriving in engineering in college. Get some perspective here.[/quote]

Some kids would prefer more than that and two year sequences make it hard to take other classes.  You need to get some perspective as not all kids want or nerf the same thing.  Stem is more than math and science. IB is not equal in math.  Some kids want engineering, computer science and more.  Saying it was enough for my kid, so take what you get while other schools have much more is selfish.  All our kids should have the same opportunities.  Stem is very limited at Einstein.  Einstein would be very disappointed.  Wouldn’t it have been great if your engineering student had more access to engineering classes and ap physics which is a standard class for engineering?[/quote]

NP - who are you to tell another parent what would have been great for their kid?  Check your arrogance.[/quote]

DP.  Pot, meet kettle.

Put aside, for the moment, the post's response to the prior PP's offered personal anecdote about their engineering student, which pretty clearly was meant to elucidate a difference that the prior PP did not mention.  Is there something about the post's explicitly stated central idea, "All our kids should have the same opportunities," with which you disagree?  Are you suggesting that other parents should be OK with offerings at other schools being broader and at higher levels than at the school their child is assigned to attend?

Before retreating to a position of putting forth a list of advanced options/experiences at Einstein, even if being sure not to include those of past years which may no longer be offered, as evidence of equitability, please evaluate that in light of the options available at B-CC, a non-magnet IB school in the same school system right next door.[/quote]
