[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's not about poor scores. It's about poor teachers. [b]I've spent years in MCPS and can tell you that the best teachers are in wealthy area[/b]s, and sometimes Focus elementaries. It stands to reason, no one wants to have a harder job of it. The IB program needs special training that even good teachers sometimes lack, so imagine what happens in lower-performing schools. I'm not saying it's not worth a try! But I highly, highly doubt the graduating students will have good scores on their IB exams. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong. [/quote] I really don't know how any MCPS teacher can have any informed basis for saying this. You know the teachers you know (a very small fraction of the teachers in MCPS), you don't know the teachers you don't know (a very large fraction of the teachers in MCPS), and unless you have personally worked with them, there's really no good way to know anyway.[/quote]
