[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm another Haycock AAP parent who finds the large majority of Haycock parents to be very entitled and off-putting.

I don't think that kids transfer to McLean because they enjoy being surrounded by the drama. I think they transfer because obtaining a full IB diploma is significantly harder and much more restricting than obtaining a general AP diploma. It's really their only other option.

Kids at Marshall can take individual IB courses without going for the full IB diploma.  Perhaps the Marshall kids or their parents think the kids will be at a disadvantage in the college admissions process if they don't pursue the full IB diploma and will fare better if they just take AP courses at another school.   That's traditionally been one reason why some parents at other schools have resisted IB programs.  But I did think a fair number of the Marshall kids transferring to McLean had been Haycock AAP kids.  Maybe not.

I don't think there's much "drama" at either Marshall or McLean apart from the typical teen-age stuff.   I think you come across as having a chip on your shoulder when you make such statements.     [/quote]
