[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So glad we chose Oyster and have stayed for jr. high. We're planning to move to MoCo next year, hoping to crack Richard Montgomery IBDP (probably the strongest pu;lic IBDP in the US).

Sorry folks, you can't do language immersion well wi/out native speakers in class (unless you have them at home). And you can't blow IB Diploma exams out of the water wthout doing language immersion right. higher level IB exams are a whole lot harder than AP on DCUM. This mirrors my own experience as a teenager in suburban NJ. I remember being stunned when I got a 4 of 7 on IBD Spanish at my private school after scoring 5 on AP Spanish. I expect my kids to beat me "hands down" as the objecting poster likes to say. Call me a witch, too. Problem is, I'm right babe.

We all are very happy for you and your child. Our loss is MoCo's gain. Adios.[/quote]

Fingers crossed that this obnoxious Oyster poster will stop posting repeatedly how we are all jealous and dying to send our kids there when she's at whatever school in Maryland. [/quote]

Sounds like she wants IB Diploma studies for a white kid without a public option in DC. Banneker's all minority, Eastern is all but hopeless, and DCI doesn't have a high school yet.  Wilson offers AP classes, not IBD.  [/quote]
