[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] IB is a difficult program, I agree. However IB by itself is not designed for HG students. I am not talking about the Diploma program at all. RM can create a magnet Diploma program and a non-magnet Diploma program. What RM (and MCPS) is doing is soliciting exceptional academically qualified students to join RM and then switching them into open all-school IB program (like BCC, Rockville IB program). I am not suggesting (or disparaging) any student who can manage the Diploma program. I am challenging the MCPS and RM admin to come clean with what they are advertising vs. what they are actually doing. I would not send my academically gifted kid to BCC or Rockville to do just an IB program taking an hour or more long bus ride from Olney if my kid can do an IB program in the home school, join EC with the neighborhood friends he grew up with. [b]So why should I send him to RM if he would just go there for the IB program?[/b][/quote] Then don't. If you don't like the RMIB program, because you want everybody in your kid's IB classes to be kids who got admitted through the magnet application program, then don't send your kid there. And no, MCPS isn't hiding anything. My kid applied to RMIB last year (and didn't get in). Nowhere did anybody say that, if my kid got in, everybody in my kid's IB classes would be kids who got admitted through the magnet application program. Nor did I have this expectation. Nor am I upset that kids at RM get to take IB classes, while my kid doesn't get to (because our zoned school is not an IB school).[/quote]
