[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Promote IB as the standard - focus on improving outcomes for all as measured against international standards - encourage service and citizenship.  This is the Portrait of a Graduate objective.[/quote]

When the PISA tests have been administered, the highest performing schools were AP high schools.  There's too much IB already, as evidenced by the low IB participation and diploma rates at most schools that offer the program.

So, no. They can find another way to satisfy themselves that they've made progress towards achieving their citizenship goals.  [/quote]

PISA is given to freshmen, so the influence of IB or AP is nil.[/quote]

Ha!! Busted.

Again: you have no way to show that AP schools perform better than IB schools BECAUSE of AP.  Adjust for SES, then talk.[/quote]

No, I think you missed the point.  The students (parents) have already selected the high school pyramid.  The PISA scores reflect that choice.  Yes, SES is a factor.   So is AP and IB.  [/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]

You assume the point you are trying to make, then use it as evidence to prove your point.[/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]
