[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not need to be in the full time IB program to stay at WL.  As long as you take 3 IB classes between Junior and Senior year, you do not need to go back to your neighborhood school.  There are lots of IB choices. Some easier than others. [/quote]

They made it clear in the presentation that this is no longer allowed.[/quote]
It seems crazy that if a junior struggled with the full IB workload and wanted to drop down a level in 1-2 classes for mental health and stress reasons that APS would make them switch HSs for their senior year.  That's a lot of pressure and rigidity when WL isn't even overcrowded.[/quote]

It’s a good lesson in how life’s not always fair.

What it DOES do is weed out kids who have no chance in completing the full programme. [/quote]
That's a pretty big consequence for a decision a kid makes at 13 yo before they've ever taken a high school class, let alone an AP or IB class.[/quote]
I know lots of kids at yorktown that didn't apply to w-l's ib because they knew they didn't want the workload.  I also know lots of super motivated kids that are no kidding definitely doing it.  
To be eligible for the IB program, you have to be taking at least 3 "highschool" classes as an 8th grader (geography, math, and language).  [/quote]
