[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The examples they use are from the strongest and most desirable programs. There are plenty of undersubscribed programs, and for good reason -- they are not nearly as good. Compare admissions rates and outcomes for RMIB and Kennedy's IB program, for instance. They are also ignoring why so many people need programs--their home schools are not providing a strong academic program. That's where the focus should be -- improving local school so that people are able to get a good education at their local schools.[/quote]

Especially at the ES and MS level, people have been very clear that they would prefer to keep their kids close to home in their home school but would very much like more accelerated options.  They did do a slightly accelerated social studies program for MS — unclear what they can’t do that for English.  No one wants to put their 11 year old on an hour bus ride and separate them from friends (unlesss the kid has been bullied or something like that.). [/quote]
