Be careful, Eppy. Sleezebag Morrison will try to take the combination of "moderately" and "highly" important and combine them to exceed "not important" and "relatively unimportant".
I wonder why something is "moderately" important but "relatively" unimportant. What's the difference between those two categories?
I agree with focusing on the stronger yes/no opinions.

Lisa,
This survey was designed for a desired outcome, one which supports IB. But the results prove parents are divided on IB. On each IB question the most common answer was not important followed by highly important. This is just the opposite of the bell shape curve Mr. Morrison predicted.
With the huge budget cuts NV is facing the only way our schools will improve is if we all come together. We will not come together if IB stays on the table.
