[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's been established that RMIB, Blair and TJ are excellent schools (as well as several privates).

Can anyone speak to the STEM program at Eleanor Roosevelt -- what it offers compared to other top schools in the area and what kids get out of it.[/quote]

Right but RM IB booster makes offensive remarks (TJ crazies etc.) and makes inaccurate statements obsessively saying RM IB is better, more rigorous than TJ based on [b]unsubstantiated claim that ALL 41 NMSF winners from RM are from RM IB and none are from non-IB RM students,[/b] incorrectly states over and over that there are 162 TJ NMSF winners when the correct number is 164 and keeps insisting the TJ senior class is 500 when it is about 456.

If RM IB is so rigorous to be more rigorous and better than TJ, how is it that TJ students perform better in writing, Model UN, debate, newspaper, yearbook etc.? Stop being so offensive or defensive in this case. [/quote]

But they are. My DC is one of them and [b]DC knows who is in the program and who is not[/b].

[b]Assuming your DC knows all 100 students in the RM IB program which seems somewhat unlikely, isn't it odd that none of the some 400 students who attend RM who are not in the IB made nmsf? [/b]Is RM that bad of a school to have zero nmsf winners? Besides, you have provided zero source for your assertion other than your say so.

Also, you are awfully silent on how RM IB is so lacking in writing, MUN, debate, yearbook, newspaper etc. recognition (not to mention various STEM competitions) when you claim RM IB is the most rigorous program in the DC area more rigorous/better than TJ and any disagreements (with sources) are met with name calling and insulting remarks.

What is so odd about knowing 100 kids DC spent 3 years with? Many kids (who came up the same Middle School magnet program) over 7 years? You spend 3 years with the same people and you don't know who they are?

IB kids win plenty of awards but the school admin "plays down" the accomplishment of magnet kids because there are 400 non program kids. They need to be more sensitive to make sure peaceful coexistence of magnet/no-magnet kids. This is why you don't see much friction between two groups. Do you really want me to go thru every monthly letter Principal sends out to collect award winners?
