[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the posters who have been confused about the mission of the CMI
MS.  I attended some of the MS briefing sessions as an CMI parent and Golnar talked
about academic rigor and even said she was [b]considering establishing an IB program
for the MS.[/b] [/quote]

I would not place much faith in this.  It's like saying I watched "The Martian" and now I'm considering studying Astrophysics and Botany.

1.  IB Programs are incredibly expensive
2.  They take at least 3 years for approval from the IB organization
3.  That's once you get it implemented.  Unless you have hired dedicated IB staff, you will need a few years for them to get up to speed
4.  It is a school-wide effort which involves (expensive) specific training for all the teachers
5.  It involves certification of a specific kind of curriculum, and any curricular changes have to be approved by the PCSB
6.  It makes no sense (as in, it won't happen) for the MS portion of a PK-8 school to be approved as an IB school for the MYP portion if the ES portion isn't also approved as a PYP school.
7.  Did I mention how expensive it is?

I like CMI, but I could use some money, so I'd like to place a bet against this happening in 6 years.  If ever.[/quote]

I don't think Golnar said this - perhaps that poster misunderstood (as [b]the IB and MYP are in direct competition with each other[/b]).

But who knows - also, can you write less?  Your posts are so wordy with attempted humor, it's hard to get the point of what you are saying.[/quote]

No, they are not.  MYP (Middle Years Program) is the middle school section of IB (International Baccalaureate).

Perhaps if you wrote more with attempted intelligence it would be easier to get at the point of what you are [i]attempting[/i] to say?[/quote]

Don't worry.  "Thinks she is clever" PPP is clueless.  MYP = IB, but PPP is too busy being arrogant to actually learn something.   :roll: [/quote]
