[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote] If the IB program at BCC less "soul sucking hard" If so, why? [/quote] They teach to the same standards but it doesn't mean the results are the same - kids are different, teachers are different, and families' commitment to support is different. About 4 out of 10 kids in the program are National Merit Semi-Finalists; usually 35-45 kids out of ~100 kids or so. A lot of HS in MCPS doesn't even have one NMSF. So, it's a totally different ballgame. It's hard but kids LOVE it. Both of my kids consider RMIB as 4 best years of their lives. [/quote] But that's a circular argument -- IB at RM is different because the kids are different because IB at RM is different. It sounds to me like the thing that's unique about RM IB isn't the IB, or the existence of a cohort. It's the highly-selective test-in requirement. The RMIB program is what it is because lots of people apply but only a few are admitted.[/quote]
