[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why don't they make the BCC program test in as well?[/quote] why not make Einstein, Springbrook, Watkins Mill, etc test in programs, too? They all have IB programs. But here's the deal. A test-in isn't inclusive. It automatically weeds out kids from the start. If you opt into the DP program (grades 11 and 12) and work hard, you may not earn the top scores on the assessments, but you will have challenged yourself. That's the thinking. However, oftentimes, kids choose a certificate over a diploma, and some even drop out b/c it's too intense. It's not for everyone, and it limits the number of electives you can take. So if journalism is your thing, it may not fit into your schedule if you're doing IB. [/quote]
