[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a college English professor. I would much rather have an IB student over an AP student. The IB students I have taught problem solve, make connections, and write much better than the AP students. My AP students are barely distinguishable from their non-advanced peers. This has been my experience both for those that received college credit and those who did not.[/quote] The college professors opinion >>> the mom at the school that doesn't offer IB claiming that AP is better. [/quote] We've had kids at both IB and AP schools. Both programs have strengths but I'd take an AP school for the vast majority of students. IB really is a niche program, and that's reflected in its overall lack of popularity compared to IB and the small number of students receiving IB diplomas at every FCPS high school with an IB program.
