[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just need to insert some facts for the benefit of people who are reading here that “Einstein has no STEM.” They have AP Calc and Stats, and 2-year sequences of IB Chem, IB Bio, and IB Physics. My Einstein grad is thriving in engineering in college. Get some perspective here.[/quote]

Some kids would prefer more than that and two year sequences make it hard to take other classes.  You need to get some perspective as not all kids want or nerf the same thing.  Stem is more than math and science. IB is not equal in math.  Some kids want engineering, computer science and more.  Saying it was enough for my kid, so take what you get while other schools have much more is selfish.  All our kids should have the same opportunities.  Stem is very limited at Einstein.  Einstein would be very disappointed.  Wouldn’t it have been great if your engineering student had more access to engineering classes and ap physics which is a standard class for engineering?[/quote]

No actually he was psyched for two years of IB physics. You sure have got a bee in your bonnet.[/quote]

Yea, for them.  Not everyone wants 2 years or can fit it in their schedule, and AP works best, which is a very different class.  They can take away one IB class from each subject and offer AP.  [/quote]

I’ve yet to understand why people think AP classes “work best”, when quality IB classes should be more rigorous and require more critical thought and input from students. [/quote]
