[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of IB, why not a vocational training program that will allow these kids to get jobs in plumbing, electrical, heating and cooling, automotive, etc. and earn a good living.

Maybe they can get hired by all the contractors that DCPS is always keeping happy.

They have Phelps for that. You still did not answer the question regarding the academically inclined students who are not zoned for Wilson.  Are they not deserving of academics beyond the basics?  [/quote]

They have DCI, Basis, etc.  Eastern had 6 students trying for IB.  Maybe if they had 40+ trying for IB and had a decent pass rate, say 80%, it maybe worth it but having an IB program for under 10 students?  It'll be cheaper to send them to another school that can better meet their needs.[/quote]

This was first senior class that had IB as an option at Eastern. Makes sense that leading class is small.

For those wanting more 'challenge' there is Banneker (IB and AP), McKinley (AP), SWW (AP). Wilson also offers many AP

If you want more go to one of the charters. I am rooting for Eastern. [/quote]
