[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB has been such a waste of time and money in FCPS. It strains credulity that FCPS won't listen to parents and kill it, even when people have repeatedly expressed their anger over getting redistricted to IB schools.[/quote] I feel like I am missing something. Honest question, no snark - if it is as much a slam dunk as you claim, why, with all of the budget problems FCPS has faced, hasn't IB been reduced to 1 or 2 schools? As you've presented above, it's a pretty straightforward argument - high costs, low participation rates (meaning negligible parental/staff resistance) , AP is probably better known and more popular... If this is such obvious low-hanging fruit that is win-win for all involved, why hasn't it happened? What do Board members say? What's the inside scoop? There must be something, right?[/quote]
