[quote=Anonymous]Op, this argument of what is successful and who should get IB is becoming tiresome. It's in Fairfax for different reasons. It offers an UMC education to kids who would never go to private school or take 12 AP classes. It wasn't put in FFX for the kids who ALREADY have life handed to them and that's why the haves don't need it. It offers an incredible opportunity to the A-/B+ kid learning how to make their way intellectually and in higher education. Especially the kids with families that have had less opportunities for higher education, or kids who have a chance to be engaged by ideas in a new way and then motivated by education with a new eye. This was confirmed by Ivy admissions officers, Who also noted, for the A+ students with the high test scores, it really doesn't matter whether they do AP or IB. For the level of kids who don't start life on third base, they find full IB students well-prepared, interesting and worth recruiting.[/quote]
