[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the hate for IB or the love for AP. We have both at my kids' school, and they've taken several classes in both. (Neither of my kids has pursued the IB diploma.) They've loved their IB classes. AP classes have been good, too. What difference does it make really?[/quote]

I think if people had both in their base high school, it would be fine.  In FCPS if your high school is IB you have to pupil place to a different school for AP.  That mean [b]separating  from friends and providing your own transportation[/b].[/quote]

This is a big deal.  We are considering buying a house we like very much, but the school is an IB school.  We wouldn't want our child to establish friends in jr. high, then have to start all over at another HS just to get AP courses.  I've also heard that the AP school can and will send you back to the IB/assigned school if you don't take an AP class at any point in your HS career.   Wish all school offered some AP classes.
