[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to get rid of IB programs and offer more AP and dual enrollment classes. Robinson parent. [/quote] Marshall parent here. What's wrong with giving students as many options as possible? If taught correctly, IB courses prepare students for college just as well as DE and AP classes. [/quote] It’s not about preparing for college, it’s about attaining college credits. IB credits aren’t as universally accepted. [/quote] That’s actually incorrect. IB credits are taken at most schools. 20 years ago not consistently the case. But in 2025, schools honor them as much as AP. This is perpetual myth being spread around the community. [/quote] That wasn't our experience, we felt lied to about the college credits. But overall we were happy with the program. Our kids cranked out their college essays like they were nothing, no pricy college counselors needed. [/quote]
