[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP here. One of my kids just graduated in 24 with the IB diploma from Robinson. Having read this entire discussion, I can only believe that most of you in favor of IB know very little about IB. The program is rigorous and comprehensive.

Look, I was an AP student in school years and years ago. I don't claim it is the same program now, but I think both AP and IB get kids to the same destination, but with different paths, and possibly differing strengths.  I can't figure out why anyone is so afraid of being rezoned to an IB school. The program is incredible. Even if you don't think your kid is a "writer" they can be successful. I would encourage you to take the time to learn and understand it before screaming no to the school board. The hysteria is completely unwarranted. A kid that will be successful in AP will very likely be successful in IB.

- Signed, bought in the Robinson pyramid before I had kids and had even heard of IB, and I don't regret it one bit. [/quote]
