[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why push an expensive ineffective program in a struggling school?[/quote] Because the poor performing schools were the guinea pigs for the IB program. After it was shown not to be effective in bringing up the schools' scores, FCPS has kept it in those schools because it provides a school within a school for the small percentage of white students at the poor performing schools. FCPS basically has decided that it's more important to keep white kids at those schools than to find a solution that works for all the kids. I live in the Stuart pyramid and most of the parents I know are only willing to send their kids to Stuart because the IB program is a "school within a school," and their kids won't have to mix with the "other" kids. Most are way more concerned about segregating their kids than about the actual substance of the IB program. [/quote]
