[quote=Anonymous]A pp asked how come I hated the IB program. Yes I can see how IB really can be a challenging program for well off kids that have a lot of parental investment. That is why it works in places like Montgomery country and Washington International School. But it presumes a basis of skill and content knowledge that teachers can work with and expand. I was at a title one school and kids were lost, the teachers overwhelmed and the school under-resourced. The problem is that a lot of these kids are missing so many of the basics that the rigor that IB is supposed to bring is nearly impossible to implement with out more school hours in a day and a lot of money. Those same conditions would frame any school that they chose in ward 5. Just saying IB does not make a program rigorous. There is a lot more that needs to go into the mix and IB is really hard if not impossible to implement in the Ward 5 environment. [/quote]
