[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MD poster here. I have one son who did IB Diploma and another son who did AP track. For us, IB was far better than AP. While people complaint about lack of flexibility with IB, the structure is designed to teach students will certain skill sets. A lot of reading, a lot of writing, and a lot of analysis (literature, history,..etc) involved. I think it just made him a better student. He is currently working on his engineering PhD program in top STEM college in the country. My younger boy (on AP track) graduated with 10 APs but it lacked rigor that IB offered. [/quote]

Just an interested poster here, reading this thread with interest.  DD has transferred to IB HS and will start there next year as a freshman (Robinson).  She's definitely a reading/writing/humanities girl, and an all A student, so she/we think this will be a good fit - but she takes forever to do her work so we worry about the intensity once she gets to the IB courses.  I like reading responses like yours, PP - comparing IB to AP.  Thanks![/quote]
