[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child attends the SMAC magnet at Blair. [b]4 of his 8 classes are not in the magnet at all[/b]. I am not at all concerned that his English/SS/language/elective learning is somehow tainted by Blair neighborhood kids. Seems like IB parents even have less concern because IB kids have the actual IB curriculum standard to rely on for quality and content.[/quote] That is one of the reason many students who gets accepted into both SMAC and RM IB choose RM. When you are promised a all magnet program, you expect a all magnet program, and not some pseudo magnet version similar to Blair or Poolesville. IB curriculum is not for magnet students. Its a structure that can be taught to anyone at any academic level. Its a discipline thing and not a rigor thing. Otherwise there would be no need for kids in other IB schools to go through the exhaustive application process for RM and leave their home school comfort. [/quote]
