[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a pretty good summary of the problems actually.  [/quote]

How so?

I understand IB is actually great at tracking. Why doesn’t that work at DCI?

They don’t do it in middle school (same as Deal) . It will happen in high school for 11th and 12th when students choose HL classes (or not). [/quote]

B[b]ut that's how IB works. MYP covers through 10th, and there is no tracking. [/b]IBO diploma studies begin in 11th.[/quote]

Parents who don't know much about IB programs like to claim this on DCUM.  My sister's children attend a Fairfax public MS with MYP curriculum and extensive tracking, for math, languages, humanities subjects, almost everything but electives. [/quote]

Just not true. The big intl school in Europe our children attended for middle school before we came to DC used the MYP curriculum AND tracked plenty.  Not tracking in middle, or hardly tracking, is a DC specific problem due to obnoxious racial politics.[/quote]
