No, it's not as cut and dry like that. Even when my kid was there - class of 2015 - the message from principal was loud and clear. He does not support IB and tried to mix IB with non-IB kids. It's a slow decline but if you have younger kids, something you should keep an eye on. My money is on continuing decline of IB stats - SAT scores, NMSF, IB test scores and such.  [/quote]

I have a younger kid. Thanks for your concern, but when it's time for her to think about applying to RMIB, I'm not going to be getting my information from two-year-old sky-is-falling threads on DCUM.[/quote]

You are free to do whatever. No one really cares about your kid other than you. [/quote]

Then why are you offering advice?[/quote]

NP here. I guess when advice is offered, people are free to do what they want to do with that advice.  The widening achievement gap only concerns the administration not the parents of students who are doing well and are on top of the achievement pyramid.   What MCPS is doing in terms of their social engineering experiments is actually hurting the magnet programs because they are removing academic merit from the equation. Magnet students are spurred to stretch their abilities because of their peer group, they learn from each other. What are they learning from each other when one person gets in because of their merit and another because of skin color?  [/quote]
