[quote=Anonymous]I've read through the articles and comments above and there seems to be a lot of emphasis on whether or not your DC gets college credit for AP vs. IB. Who cares? What I want is a rigorous program that prepares to succeed in college. The independent research project alone was a big draw for us to the IB program. I have a friend who is a college professor who cannot believe students are graduating from well regarded high schools without having ever written a full length term paper. In my senior year in high school all seniors were required to write a cross disciplinary paper across three classes - one of which has to be English as 1/3 of the grade was to be on the actual writing while the other subject matter teachers would cover the substance. I did not come across another similar assignment until graduate school. [/quote]
