[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP wants the school to be able to "counsel out" students who aren't on the IB Diploma track, which is contrary to the charter law and policies in DC. Personally, I think it's a good compromise which allows the high performing students to get their IB diplomas and those who can't attain that level can still get a far more solid education than DCPS would offer. If you want a private version of the school, quit bitching and pull out your checkbook. [/quote] I predict that DCI will struggle to build a critical mass of high performing students without being an IB diploma-only program. Case in point: Richard Montgomery's test-in IBD program only became wildly popular after it went IBD-only 15 years ago. We can afford privates after our DCI feeder (well-off grandparents will pay). But I'd still like to see DCI give BASIS, Latin, Walls and Banneker a run for their money on attracting and retaining high fliers. The bitching is for y'all. [/quote]
