[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated 3 semesters early. Instead of summer camps or jobs in high school, we all took classes at the community college. (California allows (or did allow) high school students to enroll for free in CC classes) Classes I didn't want to take during the school year (biology) I could get out of the way in 6 weeks to make room for things I did want (2 years of physics and chemistry). I did it every summer in high school and ended up with 5 classes completed that way. Then another 10 AP courses.[/quote] We aren't California, so our system is a bit different. FCPS had dual enrollment in our high schools. AP is usually the most beneficial route, aling with dual enrollment. IB gives the least bang for the buck. I agree with OP that all of the poorer schools should eliminate IB and switch to only AP and dual enrollment. IB simply puts those students at a disadvantage.[/quote]
