I don't really have the dog in this fight, but this is priceless.[/quote]

I understood what the PP was saying.  People have dug up the relevant sections before from the FCPS budget, which runs hundreds of pages, and[b] IB clearly is more expensive on a per student basis.[/b]  Something isn't false merely because you haven't engaged in the same time-consuming exercise yet again. [/quote]

Maybe once IB is more widely implemented, the cost/student will come down. We need more IB schools. [/quote]

The costs for both of these programs keeps going up despite each year more people participating in them. Over one year AP went up $9 per student and IB went up $18 per student. I'm guessing the IB program will keep increasing ahead of AP because there are more salaries involved.[/quote]
You have made your point many times over. What are you trying to do - shame OP into pupil-placing in AP school because IB is SOOO BAAADDD for society?[/quote]

Why do you think there is just one person aware of IB's poor track record in FCPS or IB's higher costs?  Wrong.

You also have it backwards if you think the OP would be pupil placing to an AP school.  OP was asking whether it's worth pupil placing out of an AP school to an IB program.  So the question is not whether IB is "BAAADDD for society," but whether there's anything special enough about it to warrant the extra effort to get to an IB school.  Unless your kid plans to go to school abroad, there really isn't. [/quote]
