[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]

[b]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[/b] (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]

Yes. Absolutely yes.
I really don't agree that IB AP dance is universally available in high school, however. And I don't get your animosity toward middle school sports, unless you're bitter about your kid not being a travel athlete and getting the spot they wanted on the middle school team they wanted. I would like to see more opportunities in ms, though, such as non-competitive intramurals or non-competitive just among APS middle schools. [/quote]
