[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB or sure, it emphasizes critical thinking along with writing.[/quote] Sounds like a canned response. IB jargon typically consists of references to “critical thinking” and “global citizenship,” but it’s largely hype - at least as executed in FCPS. As PP noted, the overwhelming majority of students at IB schools in FCPS don’t get IB diplomas. [/quote] To the OP: The post above is an example of what inevitably turns up on any DCUM thread that mentions IB. There are IB bashers here whose kids did not do IB and who know nothing about how it actually works. They also like to toss around what little jargon they've picked up so they can leap on posts with statements like "Sounds like a canned response." They also think that because not everyone who does IB gets the full diploma, IB is somehow bad. Not accurate at all. [/quote]
