[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there before and after school classes? That doesn't seem like it should be allowed. How do kids get home? Does high school have a late bus, too?[/quote]

I believe every IB high school in the county offers the required IB course, Theory of Knowledge, after school.  Students who do the full IB diploma are unable to take a band, or music class (or another non IB elective) and get the diploma because there aren't enough periods in the day.  Therefore, the schools offer a section of TOK after school so the students can fit it all into their schedule.  Another reason why IB is more expensive than AP.[/quote]

Fcps should eliminate IB at your school and keep the music classes.[/quote]

Very few kids complete the IB program so most kids are not taking the theory of knowledge. One reason people don't take IB is because you have to give up too many electives and it removes some of the fun classes from a kid's schedule. [/quote]
