[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did the full IB diploma (I'm a parent now) and I'd love for my kid to have the same opportunity. I went to an Ivy, and after the IB diploma college was *easy*. I also entered with a full year's worth of transfer credit, so was able to get my BA in 3 years. The IB program I attended was in a different state, but was also housed in an underserved/low-ranked high school. It was put there due to low-enrollment and the desire for the district to have more UMC kids transfer in to balance demographics. Wasn't an issue--if anything, I learned some very valuable street smarts and became much more comfortable with/knowledgeable about other cultures. My ES and MS were lily white and at my HS it was 90% AA and 10% white. It was eye-opening being "the minority," in a good way. [/quote] IB is marketed as a "school within a school" in FCPS and other jurisdictions but I guess you can soak up all that knowledge about other cultures in PE. [/quote]
