[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the county continues its misguided effort to focus the bulk of FARMS/ESOL resources in a handful of schools, those schools will become defacto ghettos as higher-income families flee. That's what is happening now with the lower-performing schools. Boundaries need to be adjusted to bring in higher SES students. Also, offer challenging college-prep courses to make the schools attractive. Scrap the IB program except for 1 or 2 schools county-wide.[/quote] Then lobby the School Board to move part of Woodson to Annandale, part of West Springfield to Lee, and part of West Potomac to Mount Vernon, and to get rid of IB at each of Annandale, Lee and Mount Vernon. You can't blame people for wanting to avoid IB when it's a niche program that only appeals to a small percentage of students. [/quote]
