[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I emailed Gatehouse (student transfers) about this issue (I have a high schooler who needs to stick with a language she started but wants to switch to AP, her language not available at closest AP school.) and they were completely dismissive. Basically too bad, so sad, go talk to your school counselor (who had already advised us to email Gatehouse)

Who can I escalate to?[/quote]

I don't think it is going to change. They realized that kids are using languages to transfer out of lower ranked schools to higher ranked schools. It will be interesting to see how the number of transfers drop at Langley, Oakton, WSHS, and the like. I know people used language to transfer from Herndon to Langley, those kids will have to stay at Herndon unless they transfer to SLHS for IB. SLHS sent kids to Langley, Westfield, and Oakton for AP and language, I would guess that those kids will now be told they have to go to Herndon.

The point is to decrease the number of students at schools close to capacity and stop kids from transferring out of lower ranked schools. They did not close the IB to AP loop hole but removing the language alters what schools can move to from IB for AP, no idea if that will make transferring less interesting. [/quote]
