[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I notice is the cluster that is most of the soon-to-be-former DCC is all getting to keep the special programs they had, now with less competition for the spaces, while other schools are being completely restructured with new programming.

So Blair/Northwood/Einstein/BCC gets to keep CAP and VAC, AND gets a separate humanities option, and an IB option. Nonsensically, the humanities option doesn't get attached to IB, although IB's focus on language and writing seems to make it a natural fit.

It seems poor form to complain when you're not losing anything and your kids get more options from this.

It's unfortunate for schools like Kennedy, who are losing their Leadership magnet and not getting anything new to support their IB students. [/quote]

Most families don't care about IB.  They aren't taking away anything from the home schools in reality.  This is all for show.  I couldn't care less if they took away IB.  They are just saying these schools specialize in it for attention.  They aren't adding anything to these programs.  And, the VAC drama, there are only a few teachers for arts and a few for music.  Other schools have way more.  This is just for name only.  They aren't adding staff or funding to make these better programs.  Really, its all for show so nothing to get worked up about.

The real issue is the kids who cannot cosa or go to other schools who need more advanced academics.  Right now the only choice is to drive to another school or MC.  Will it still be allowed ot drive your kids to another school for a class if they are out of region?[/quote]
