The proposal of IB moving to countryside’s outcome had outraged many IB students, teachers, and parents, if their protests are anything to go by. Yet what do the non-IB students think about this?

For sophomore Vanessa Fernandez the answer is simple.

 “They can move it,” Fernandez said.

Her concern was about the overcrowding of students; she figures that if it helps make the school less crowded then its fine. Others agree with Fernandez.

“I don’t think it matters so much because they’re in their own little world,” sophomore Ashley Morelli said. “They’re not really involved in what the traditional and medical students do.”

On the flip side, there are some students against the proposal. In sophomore Morgan Lopez’s case, she’s not only worried about the overcrowding but also worried about the school’s reputation.

 “We would lose a lot of students and the school’s reputation would diminish because we wouldn’t have the IB program here.” Sophomore Morgan Lopez said.  

Junior Amber Moore agrees.

 “It’s really not fair to the IB students, if we move them out of their setting,” Moore said. “The school board needs to stop being radical.”

Yet not every student is taking a side, for junior Kayla Gaffney she chooses to stay neutral on the subject.

“The school is being overcrowded but there’s a lot of school diversity. “ Gaffney said. “I guess if it benefits everybody and it works out in the end, then it would be ok.”

There are so manydifferent opinions reguarding the location change of the IB program when you look at the situation from a variety of perspectives. But all  of these perspectives need to be taken into consideration when making a big decision, such as the one we are presented with now.
