[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I live near OHS. It is a very nice school. I would not pupil place into Marshall or SL from that location. Oakton is a good school and those schools are far. You are looking at a LOT of traffic/ commuting time for course work that is part of a program with problems -- and not the same as the overseas program. [b]We had one neighbor who went to SL -- transferred out ASAP. Same Marshall. Marshall is great for some students, but it is not the perfect school that the supporters say it is[/b].[/quote]

This is true of [u]every [/u]school, everywhere. Great for some, not for others, no place is perfect. Nobody on this thread made out that Marshall (or SL) was perfect, and nobody here said OHS wasn't a perfectly nice school. So why bring this up? There's no relevance other than that you know one kid who left SL (over IB? You don't say, so what's the relevance to OP's question?).

Your post doesn't give OP any concrete information about the specific question originally asked.

OP, be aware that DCUM is full of folks who come on here to make digs at schools they don't like, or heard something negative about, whether or not they actually have kids there themselves. Focus on what you want to know about AP and IB and the specific school your kid would attend if you did a transfer -- talk to parents who actually have kids at that school. Better yet, talk to those parents' kids--the students doing the work.[/quote]
