[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me out this another way:

You: "Families should know what they're getting into if they don't go with Smac or RMIB!"

Other people: "Sure. Here are our experiences with IB."

You: "Those experiences are wrong. Let me extrapolate how. I don't need evidence, or facts. My word should be enough. I took math." [/quote]

Or another way:

Poster A: "I have an interest in RMIB."

Poster B: "RMIB is clearly superior as the criteria-based magnet."

Poster C: "Why RM?  All MCPS IB programs are the same!"

Poster D: "Not exactly.  Some MCPS IBs don't offer the same class levels, and that means that MCPS might not meet the student where they are."

Poster E (maybe B?): "IB math levels don't matter when higher-level non-IB math is available, and IB, itself, isn't really that worthwhile.  That's the experience of the Algebra 2 in 8th crowd."

Poster F (conflating Posters D & E, responding to poster D): "You're terrible and don't know what you're talking about."

Poster D: "Poster E and I are not the same. MCPS still isn't meeting the need equitably, though.  PS -- IB can be really good if it meets students where they are."

<posters continue ignoring the difference between D & E>[/quote]
