[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone give me the tl;dr version of the screeds above? Leaving aside the philosophical discussions on educational equity, what specific classes are offered at RMIB but not at Kennedy or other regional IB programs?

Thanks! [/quote]

I've been working on that... But the morrass of quotes and tags make it harder. To answer your question, Rmib doesn't offer Italian. Kennedy does.I think each IB program has one language that's not offered at the others, but don't quote me on that. It was something I looked into more than a year ago.

Basically this guy is arguing that "broader equity" which I guess means rich people don't lose their stuff, is best served by every single IB program having HL analysis, statistics and calculus (apologies if I've got the specific HL class wrong), and that while it would be nice if they also offered more stuff, none of the other stuff matters because he, as someone who hires people, can teach them everything else they need. Like writing.

I'm not trying to be unkind, but I think we can all take a moment to be amused by that assertion. [/quote]
