About what? [/quote]

Recognizing when an expensive program is not worth the money spent on it. [/quote]

Well, may be people believe it IS worth the money. It's not your call is it? [/quote]

There should be a cost per student analysis at each of the IB schools and if it exceeds a certain amount for a certain number of years, IB should be cut from the school.  There are some schools where the program is grossly underutilized.  I don't have a problem with IB being offered, I have a problem with it being offered in many schools where the students aren't interested in large enough numbers to justify the costs.  Some of those schools should be consolidated and kids currently at the schools where IB is cut should be provided bus transportation for free the consolidated IB school.  Going forward, the bus can be eliminated after the grandfathered kids have completed the program.  I'm not sure why there is so much resistance to cutting IB, schools where it's underutilized.  I'd prefer to consolidate IB into fewer schools and spend the savings on smaller class sizes or something else that benefits a lot of kids instead of just a few.  I think this would be a win win. We would still have IB but in a more cost efficient model.  What's so offensive about that?[/quote]
