[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For every kid they kick back to their home school they can take another freshman from the IB waitlist. Expand the boundaries. Fill up the school. I don’t care. But stop this ruse that we are somehow creating an IB pathway when one MS offers it and there aren’t 100 spots at TJ for transfers. [/quote]

All of the options and MS pathways/focus are a waste of resources.

They should just focus on strong fundamentals in elem and middle school, with an honors option in middle school (they just started this).

Kids can explore IB AP dance in high school where it’s universally available.

I would even get rid of middle school sports — it’s limited capacity so ends up just for kids who played travel since they were 6. No need to support their athletic career, their parents have already invested heavily. I think lots of intramurals and athletics during the day would be better for getting all students fit. [/quote]

Can you run for school board?[/quote]

I was with you til the sports.  Why doesn’t your argument apply to high school?   I see tons of kids at the basketball games, for example.  It’s fun for more than just the players.  Plus, I don’t see how athletics is any less valuable than all the other afterschool activities that are offered (and any of which are limited by space, eg, maker space). [/quote]
