[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I've heard from some parents that FCPS is considering scaling back IB because of the expense. Since there is demand for the program, I expect FCPS to keep two or three schools IB in different parts of the county. [/quote] That might make sense. But when you see the number of IB diplomas conferred, even that is a little much.[/quote] Why is that a bit much? 100 percent getting the diploma is no more the goal than having everyone take the 5 or 6 hardest AP courses. I think participation is key and schools like Marshall and South Lakes where it is popular draw plenty of students from other schools specifically for IB. The idea of having 1 IB school in this area is a non-starter. We've got enough busing going on anyway. We hardly need more of it.[/quote]
