[quote=jsteele][quote=arowe]On a sort of related point, the discussion in the last cabinet meeting seemed to reflect that DCPS has soured on expansion of IB, so (being kind of glib here) if that's your shorthand for "make the school more attractive to me" you will have to find another more direct way to express it. Andy Rowe[/quote] Andy, Implementing an IB program at MacFarland has been one of the most common suggestions I've heard. Yet, every time it comes up, DCPS pushes back. The reasons I've heard is that certification is time-consuming and that similar programs can be offered without as much difficulty. Yet, the IB stamp of approval would provide parents an outside evaluation of the school's quality. Can you give more insight into the reluctance of DCPS to pursue this? [/quote]
