[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good point, I’ve done STEM oriented legal work for a federal agency since 9/11 and agree with PP above. Although I trained as an engineer, my career has been built on the writing and research skills I gained in law school. We’re planning to move to the burbs for a strong IBD program for our two children. We’re not satisfied with DCI. There isn’t nearly enough ability grouping/academic tracking in the DCI middle school, portending fairly mediocre academics at the HS level.[/quote] Ha, I’m kind of the reverse. All of my education was focused on humanities, but as a federal lawyer I found late in the game that I actually have quantitative/analytical skills that allow me to do regulatory legal work where that is an asset. I didn’t realize that most lawyers are functionally innumerate! I struggled in my STEM AP classs (calc and physics) and avoided STEM thereafter. I wonder if an IB program would have been more encouraging for me. [/quote]
