[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BCC gets the regional IB, not Einstein. [/quote] Thats because B-CC's IB students get better scores on the IB exams.[/quote] The some smarter kids bail in the DCC to Blair and Wheaton as Einstein does not have a lot of stem and ap classes. Very few kids actually graduate with a with a ib degree. [/quote] Putting a regional IB program in Einstein would not be as attractive to applicants as BCC. These regional programs need to have some credibility to counter those who are complaining about the changes to the county wide program.[/quote] That could work to an advantage. The regional IB would max out at maybe 60 or 75 per class. If placed at B-CC, you'd get oversubscription by a lot more than if placed at Einstein, due to the greater complementary (non-IB) offerings. Meanwhile, Einstein's local IB, unless being mandated to offer the same experience (which they aren't likely to do), would struggle, as described a few posts back, with capable students disincentivized to pursue it. On the other hand, if placed at Einstein, there [i]would[/i] be a mandate (and cohort) to provide the more rigorous coursework. Though of the same size, the magnet would not be [i]as[/i] oversubscribed as if at B-CC. B-CC's [i]local[/i] program, again with its larger breadth complementary advanced courses (and depth of experience combining/arranging interleaving courses to most rigorous effect) very likely would continue to thrive. More students, overall, would be well served by rigorous IB offerings in the region.[/quote]
