[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]"Gutting", "downgrading". Can someone please explain (without histrionics) how moving to 4 regional IB centers will "gut", "downgrade" RMIB?

I would really appreciate an answer that isn't based on fear. I would also appreciate an answer based on honesty - that is, if you think the county-wide IB adds cachet to RM and hence, increases your property values please come out and say so too.[/quote]

The countywide application pool creates a far, far stronger group of students. Teachers teach to the level of the students. With a top group, discussions are richer, projects have higher expectations and teachers expect more. Its a circular feed.

The regional programs at Einstein, BCC or others area are meh. If you are in a failing school like Einstein then sure a program there can help get your kid out of the path of all the failing students but its not a good program. At BCC, its simply something to have on your school record, nothing more. [/quote]

False. These programs aren't the same as RMIB, nor do they claim to be, but they are strong programs taught by well-trained, dedicated faculty.[/quote]
