[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCI 6th Grade parent here, there are areas of concern.

1. 6th Grade Teachers : Of my child’s 7 teachers, english and math are strongest. Language: 50/50. Highly punitive environment at times (silent,no work, no reading detentions). Subjective IB grading with children being rated low without authentic support to teach toward high IB expectations or a support plan to teach kids how to reach higher IB expectations.

2. DCI Documentation : I have encountered three programs so far that require student academic achievement documents for application. Upon receiving my child’s DCI documents, admissions staff have been puzzled by high test scores but numerous 3/4/5 ratings in multiple areas given the highest standard is 8. We then have to attempt to explain the IB system and try to justify that our child is not slacking off and is a hard worker.

We have seen how the documents will be a potential barrier to opportunities.
