[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may not cost more per student, but it is grossly unfair to provide this small-sized model to some students and not to others. Everyone would want this model if they could get it, so why should only the lucky few get this? I say toss it out until everyone can have access. [/quote]

Do you go on threads about W-L's IB program to make the same comment? [/quote]

Capital idea. We should move HB program to Yorktown campus and house it there. School within a school. [/quote]

Actually Wakefield is bigger, so let’s go there. Then we can turn Heights into bigger higher school and alleviate WL. [/quote]

If Wakefield has room, isn't the easiest solution to alleviate WL by moving kids there? [/quote]

Are you being intentionally obtuse?  We could also make HB a school within a school at the Heights. The point is that we would make room at Wakefield by expanding the population at the Heights building. My point is HB having its own CAMPUS is what makes it dissimilar to the IB program. [/quote]

No, you are literally moving the goalposts

The problem with HB is that it is small .... IB is small 
The problem with HB is that it isn't available to everyone ..... IB isn't available to everyone 
The problem with HB is that it has its own building....

All of the option programs, other than IB (which is a diploma) have their own buildings, except at the middle school level. (And the middle school HB program does not have its own building, either, it shares with high school HB and Shriver.)

My understanding was there is NO LIMIT on IB. If anyone tests in, they are accepted. Is there a hard cap on IB population like at HB?

HB has its own building with a far small population than other schools. And yes, my stance is that ALL option programs should has overcapacity and crowded as the least crowded neighborhood school, thanks for supporting that. [/quote]

There is no test.  If you live outside the WL boundary, IB admittance is pure lottery.[/quote]
