[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If most of the county is against IB, why haven't people spoken out about it? The county could use the savings. [/quote] Woodson parents did speak out against IB at their school, and AP was restored. If the county is looking to save money, reducing the number of IB schools in the county would make sense. Why incur all the extra IB costs at a school like Mount Vernon where less than 5% of the graduates get IB diplomas and there are a lot of pupil placements every year to West Potomac? Why have IB at Annandale, Edison, Lee and Stuart when all these schools are fairly close to one another? The program hasn't attracted the levels of interest at those schools that FCPS hoped, but now the county probably doesn't want to incur the transition costs of reverting to a program that is less expensive. [/quote] If I'm not mistaken, Woodson was never an IB school. The parents put an end to it before it started. [/quote]
