[quote=Anonymous]IB is the educational equivalent of an all-expenses paid resort with a lot of flashy marketing brochures. In terms of actual substance, the IB courses do not cover nearly as much material as the comparable AP courses and in fact require two years to complete in many cases. IB is frequently championed on DCUM by parents of students who have obtained IB diplomas (a very small percentage of the graduating seniors at their schools) and by IB coordinators whose very jobs depend on the school system's continued willingness to spend money on wasteful IB programs. Hopefully, as school budgets are scrutinized more carefully, inefficient and unnecessary ID programs will be eliminated at both the middle and high school level.[/quote]
