[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to get rid of IB programs and offer more AP and dual enrollment classes. Robinson parent. [/quote] Marshall parent here. What's wrong with giving students as many options as possible? If taught correctly, IB courses prepare students for college just as well as DE and AP classes. [/quote]The dual program setup has done more bad than good. Drives transfers from poorer to wealthier schools. And the IB diploma is a convoluted mess and college credit is harder to come by. FCPS is under no obligation to have both.[/quote] Have a friend whose kids are at an IB school. One of them is math/science oriented and they are extremely disappointed in IB. It's not for everyone. AP is much more flexible.[/quote]
