If DCPS wants to offer IB, [b]they should have some mechanism to deliver the program to students who can actually benefit from it not to a group of kids where the majority need remediation in English.

[/b]If DCPS thinks having an IB high school like Eastern will attract students who want IB from charters like DCI, they are dreaming.

The IB at Eastern sounds like a big budget suck and a waste of money.[/quote]

DCPS already does this at Deal.  I would love it if my kid could go on to a HS that was also IB but not going to consider Eastern after he has attended 2 of the top performing elementary and middle schools in DCPS.[/quote]

Yeah, putting IB at Eastern hs is like putting a STEM program at Dunbar.  DCPS seems to think that "if they build it, they will come"  and I'm not just talking about the hundred's of millions spent on the underutilized brand spanking new facilities.[/quote]

[b]So you think kids who are not zoned for Wilson deserve nothing beyond the scraps and basic?[/b] [/quote]

Personally, I think AP courses offer plenty beyond "scraps and basic" (sic). There is no point to a costly IB program that serves practically no children.
