[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Talkers like IB. Doers like AP. 2) If your kid moves into or out of an IB school mid-HS, they're screwed in terms of being properly placed. 3) Too many menial hoops in IB. 4) The principals at IB schools lie through their teeth about IB being the best educational program ever. But I guess when you say it repeatedly, you start to actually believe yourself. [/quote] Full-on BS above. IB is harder. Has more writing, and more restrictions. The "my kid is sooooo STEM focused" set prefers multiple choice tests and doesn't think a future scientist or engineer or physician needs to be able to write or be able to do interdisciplinary analysis.[/quote] And yet the top schools in FCPS are all AP, and most of the bottom-feeders are IB. The IB hype ran its course about 15 years ago. [/quote]
