In fact, IB was established by folks in the Business Community who hated having to restart their kids in new curricula every time they moved from (say) Singapore to Geneva to Sydney to... etc.

It is rigorous, and every bit as prestigious as AP-level work. But to compare it to Honors programs at elite private schools (elite within the elite) isn't really fair. Every IB kid in the world is working on the same material, and takes the sames exams at the end of the year. The goal is to prepare these kids for leadership positions in the real world, with an eye towards a global perspective on these questions.

McCallie, Harpeth Hall, etc. are aiming at a very different goal.

And there are a surprising number of athletes in IB programs, although none are probably game-changers AFAIK.

You either are or you're not... all schools are "open zone" until their respective board of control votes otherwise. Any and all exceptions to being totally closed designate you as open zone. BPM know

Although I do have a great deal of respect for the quality of Williamson County's schools, you should probably proof read your posts before you throw out those kinds of insults lol

I know a little about the IB program and while it is a good academic program it's not a super rigorous program.  It was established for the military base schools so that when parents were reassigned from one base to another base the children were all being taught the same material.  The IB program is no where close to being as difficult as the honors program at The McCallie School or Harpeth Hall.  

A little pretentious there huh??

McCallie average ACT score 26, Franklin 25.8. Ravenwood and Brentwood are significantly higher. One thing Williamson County does well is po public education. Why waste thousands when your student will get just as good if not a better education from there.

One reason. You are seeing more high quality athletes move into the county.

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
