AP Exams will cost 86.00 a pop. Wonder when AND how that money will be collected. It is about time these fee's are paid for by parents rather than the district. What is also interesting is this money is due in 1 month from now and no public info has been sent to parents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-53913510130764523972010-08-22T10:57:44.813-04:002010-08-22T10:57:44.813-04:00IB is an outrageously expensive, UN globalist scam...IB is an outrageously expensive, UN globalist scam.

I know we have a large number of IB MYP students (9th and 10th graders) who will be taking Algebra 2 and Geometry. But I don't think the number of IB Diploma students (11th and 12th grades) grew significantly. I am basing that notion on the number of sections of IB Diploma math that we have scheduled. <br /><br />Wish me luck (and health, patience, and perseverance) in the coming year. I will need it to help my students perform at their highest potential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-40327100627292920162010-08-21T21:57:25.501-04:002010-08-21T21:57:25.501-04:00Only 27 you say?
