[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was writing as a parent of a student who is THERE. Clearly you have misinformation. DCI is IB for ALL. IB is not optional at DCI. Why don't you shut your pie-hole and move to MCPS? BTW, DCI has a lot of kids from Oyster there in its opening year.....that should tell you something.....[/quote]

Why is having an optional IB diploma bad? My friend's kid graduated from a HS with an optional IB diploma. Probably 1/3 or so of the kids went that route. The kid started out on IB track but couldn't keep up & dropped to the normal diploma. What happens to a kid at an IB only school when that happens? They get counseled out?[/quote]

There are plenty of other schools offering non-IB diplomas so why should a school be the be all and end all for everyone? That is the beauty of school choice in that there are plenty of different choices.

Not a DCI parent for the record...[/quote]

So, in other words yes, that kid who wanted IB but can't keep up would be counseled out or fail out.

So DCI is set up like another BASIS for kids to sink or swim. Hmm.[/quote]
