[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No you can not opt out.  You used to be able to until 2 years ago..  The number that chose MYP was about 75.  Now it is a whole school model until 10th grade.[/quote]

You're talking about JW, right?  From what I understand, at JW you cannot opt out, all kids take IB MYP program.  But at RM, in 9th grade, I believe you can opt out of IB, correct?  Because I know that many kids choose to do the AP track instead.[/quote]

No starting with current 10th graders, it is whole school MYP until grade 10.  Everyone must complete a 10th grade MYP project...then most kids go towards the typical regular or AP class route.[/quote]

So what do the magnet IB kids do...are they in their own special MYP classes in 9th and 10th grade, and also have to do a 10th grade MYP project?  Or do they do something different (presumably more rigorous) during 9th and 10th grade?  If if they're doing something different and more rigorous, does it make it more difficult for a non-magnet kid to join them in the 11th grade?  Maybe this is why so few do so?[/quote]
