[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new Principal is perpetuating low standards.   Even when non-magnet students at RMIB are given a chance to be in the RMIB magnet program in 11th and 12th grade - very few take up the offer.

To remove Jennifer Hoover as the RMIB Coordinator and make her an MYP coordinator (10th and 11th) and bring in another person as a magnet coordinator (11th and 12th) is a recipe for disaster. He is breaking a magnet cohort especially since IB is so very hard and these kids need the cohort.  But, whatever.  My youngest will not go to RMIB, even though 2 of his siblings have gone through the program, because doing the MYP diploma in 10th grade is not another thing I want him to do for IB in HS.

I am surprised all the Bethesda parents are not protesting. [/quote]

Is this why RMIB coordinator has changed?
What was the conflict between the coordinator and principal?
Thinking of having child apply, does anyone have more information?[/quote]

Hoover and the new principal didn't get along. The new guy didn't like IB's "school within a school" model and wants to integrate (or mainstream) IB program. If you know anything about IB, that's very core of what makes it so special. Very talented kids driven very, very hard. The new coordinator (Ms. Shay) is a very nice teacher but, obviously, new to the job. Hoover was more than a coordinator to IB kids. Kids lean on her during difficult times. Too bad for the program.
