High SES kids don't need IB b/c their parents can "buy" their way to college (i.e., test prep, tutors,..etc.). Their future is theirs to lose. Lower SES kids who do not and can't afford same luxury have to work extra hard to create the same opportunity as the high SES kids. It is uneven playing field. For those kids, IB gives that extra push, that extra help they need. It may not reach every single kid but if it helps even small fraction of these kids, I'd say it's well worth it. Yes, I know you pay tax. I pay tax too. But if we stop educating our kids because they don't meet your definition of "acceptable", what would our future be?[/quote]

Who said anything about not educating these kids?  Do you even hear yourself?  AP offers much more flexibility for any student --including low income kids. What makes you think that IB is better for them?  How does IB give them that "extra push"?

As for your statement about high SES kids buying their way into college--that has nothing to do with this argument.   It does, however, indicate that you created a straw man.

Dude, you sound like an angry white man. Get over it. [/quote]

Not the PP, but that's random.  And nothing betrays an angry white man as a sentence that begins "Dude..."
