[quote=Anonymous]Doesn't it stand to reason that kids from disadvantaged backgrounds might be less willing/able to earn the full IB degree, but perhaps better able to earn SOME credits through the AP programs? Seems like those with less support at home or less advantages in life would be better suited to taking one or two AP classes (that last one year each) rather than taking a bunch of IB classes that last two years and have more substantive writing requirements. Just seems backwards to me -- the lower performing schools/students NEED AP more than they need IB.[/quote]
