OP, if you are still on DCUM, what did your kid eventually take and which college is she in now?

My son has a friend at RMIB and a few at Poolesville in humanities and global... he never sees the RM kid anymore and all the mother does is complain about how much work he has to do. Poolesville kids still have a normal high school experience just more rigorous coursework. RMIB sounds real hard to me
I’m thinking someone is on waitlist at PHS and is responding. The workload at PHS is incredible too.
Haha thats funny my kid is a junior...

They will all be different programs in 5 years. MCPS might also have a different curriculum in 5 years.
More to the point, nobody considering going to RMIB next year will be in MCPS in 5 years.
The class that starts this year will definitely be affected significantly be affected by the changes that is taking place since 2017. So, make your decisions based on the available information. While RMIB is still a great program, it is not the one it was a couple of years ago.
I am a realist and want parents and students to join the program with full knowledge when they do cost benefit analysis to join RMIB.
Good pts.
When someone alleging lowered standards cites "changes that is taking place," I'm not sure they're the most credible resource.
You sound like a English teacher. Are you? If parents concern is putting you in defensive you should work on how to help students and parents feel comfortable rather then commenting on DCUM.
