[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would IB be against class differentiation when entire magnet schools are built around the concept? Does anyone know if that is a real issue at Deal?[/quote]

It's a totally different model. Deal administrators have said in the past that there is enough flexibility (aka differentiation) in the IB MYP curriculum already that there isn't a need separate honors and regular students for English, history and science. As someone said up thread the students are in different level spanish and math classes.

Under IB it's at the high school level that students are separated to some degree and go on either the IB Diploma or IB career track program.

Hardy, on the other hand, does offer honors classes -- as it's a more traditional, American curriculum.

Have parents tried to get tracking or honors English at Deal before and the principal refused? [/quote]

Deal just places most of the Special Education students in different tracks, not legit and not differentiation. IB is for all. [/quote]
