[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless of how Robinson ended up with IB in the first place, it would make sense to reassess current community preferences (and regardless of whether a particular IB teacher or parent at Robinson would like to maintain the status quo and/or eliminate AP courses there).  We already know that we pay more for IB because the IBO requires dedicated resources at each school that offers the IB diploma. [/quote]

Why?  Do we poll the community on school start time, class sizes, lunch offerings, elective options, or after school offerings?  No.  Can you imagine the mess if every few years they had to poll parents and then change course offerings based on what was popular with that particular crowd?

Look, I'm not an IB fan (i think it's way too much work for math teachers to grade 20 page papers on top of teaching advanced concepts) but the thought of changing programs because this year's families don't like it seems ridiculous.  There are AP options within 5 minutes from Robinson.[/quote]
