[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are totally doubling down on IB. Last I heard, they were looking to spread the MYP downward to the PYP level in feeder elementaries.

Ughhh...[/quote]

That is too bad.

Why don't the academically minded families zoned for Lee try to find a better advocate to run in the next school board election?[/quote]

It has been easier in the past for families to transfer or move. Some of the families left behind really like IB. Many others just tolerate it without understanding what is going on. It is hard at a school like Lee to build a coalition. Sad really.

The FCPS Board, however, should know better and should start to correct things. Switch back to AP, put an AAP center at Key, and [b]make the Lee/Key language program more equivalent to other schools.[/b] Unfortunately, Tamara is a big proponent of IB. If we can replace her with someone who is not so smitten with the program we might have a chance to be done with IB.[/quote]

You'll have to get rid of the new principal they just hired this year at key. She's slashing foreign language. The only language offered next year is Spanish (no more French). She's cutting electives in general--next year there will be no chorus or guitar either.[/quote]

Hold on back that up
No chorus? That can’t be a real thing. I seriously  don’t believe that.[/quote]

Believe it. No chorus at Key next year. The chorus teacher was destaffed.[/quote]
