[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you say that children in DC have educational options when these options are all lottery-based. That's not an option. That's a dice roll. An option is something that's easily available. Arlington also has "options", all lottery-based. Language immersion, science, traditional, Montessori. Fairfax has G&T, language immersion and TJ. So it's not accurate to say that Virginia children have no options if they don't like their IB. I agree with you that test scores don't tell the whole story, but absence of (good) test scores doesn't, either. A school with atrocious test scores is not necessarily good in something else. Sometimes they are just bad all around. When we lived in DC, we were in Trinidad. I would have a real struggle to see what that failing IB school is good at.[/quote]
