[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe my child has greatly benefited from IB and will be better prepared for college because of it. Yes, his college credits will be limited. But I believe that is more related to the College Board's stronghold on universities than the fact that AP classes are better than IB.

Based on my limited experience, dual enrollment is a joke in terms of education. Yes it checks a college credit box. However, there is no way there is college level learning in a 1 hour a week virtual class.  [/quote]

Dual Enrollment is not virtusl, fyi

It is in person, every other day, with a NOVA  certified teacher.

If the IB schools are only offering dual enrollment virtually,  then they are really screwing over students.[/quote]

Every student I know that is taking dual enrollment English and Math is virtual, both in AP and IB schools. It is taught by a certified teacher but it is 100% virtual. [/quote]

I have an APS student currently enrolled in a DE class along with AP classes. DE instruction is in-person for multiple hours a week, on the same schedule as other classes. DC would not be in a virtual class of any kind with one hour a week of instruction.   [/quote]
