[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are white and really the last thing I would want is for my kids to go to Whitman. I just want my kid to have all the nice extra courses, APs, clubs, etc. that Whitman has that apparently the kids at my DCC school aren’t considered good enough for.[/quote]

Your DCC school doesn't  have AP courses and clubs?[/quote]

I have compared and no, not nearly as many as Whitman.[/quote]

For example, no Differential Equations, no AP Physics C, no AP Economics micro or macro. No Debate, no Model UN, no newspaper. Wouldn’t you be pissed?[/quote]

I agree. I never understood why some schools offer certain clubs and courses but not all. People who say  one can get the same education regardless of the school is incorrect for this reason. We're in upcounty and schools up here offer different courses as well; plus we don't even have a consortium so we're basically stuck with the neighborhood school.[/quote]

The DCC IB schools offer fewer AP courses.  Kennedy has only 11 AP courses but 37 IB courses. Einstein has 23 AP and 32 IB.[/quote]
