[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeannie Franklin LIED through her teeth about the Regional IB programs and their outcomes. The teacher training for those teachers is NOT on par with Richard Montgomery's and the outcomes are NOT the same. The number of kids graduating with the IB diploma at Watkins Mill, Springbrook and Kennedy is not the same as RM. That is an on-the-record lie.[/quote]

To be clear she stated that the original local IB programs graduated more black, brown and poor students. This along with the low number of seats in RMIB was part of the reason for expanding them regionally.  Additionally, the perception of program, especially RMIB is a reason why some families apply to RMIB or will accept admission there instead of going to the program closer to them.  None of the above is inaccurate.

I can't speak to the teacher training.  But I do agree that resourcing, program setup, and support are at least part of the reason for the disparate outcomes of the programs.  And some of that starts before HS.[/quote]
