[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many students don't want IB.[/quote] Its a waste of time. - Magnet IB alum parent. [/quote] Hm.. is that why RMIB gets 1000 applications for 100 seats? All those high performing students think "it's a waste of time, but I'm gonna go there anyways."[/quote] As the SMOB kept trying to hammer through MCPS's head at the last board meeting, applying for RMIB doesn't always mean '"I really like IB and would be happy to take it anywhere else instead.". Sometimes kids are prioritizing a certain school or cohort or reputation. Doesn't mean they're in love with the IB model. (If MCPS actually bothered to actually put out a well-designed survey gauging interest, we'd have much clearer answers on a lot of this. But if course they haven't.)[/quote] Yes, they think RMIB Is worth it and not a waste of time. Not all IB programs are created equal, that is true.[/quote]
