[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My public high school did not have IB, somehow I managed to get 4s and 5s on a slew of AP tests which equaled a full year at the top public university, including (gasp! AP French despite my sad monolingual single mother home). These loser YY parents who don't care about IB scores  - surely their children will amount to nothing because their parents don't ensure dialect speakers obtain preferential admissions.  How will they ever recover from not exposing their clearly sloth-like selves to tiger moms and their suicide-inducing ambitions for children? Stereotypes intential and tongue in cheek. [/quote]

I scored a 5 on AP Spanish but only a 3 (out of 7) on Standard Level IB Spanish. Hardly a top US college or university cares about 5s on AP anymore, beyond making appropriate class placements.

My niece scored a 7 on IB Higher Level Spanish in a public dual immersion high school program in NJ with great enthusiasm. She's a Latin American studies concentrator at an Ivy now, loving it.  No suicide-inducing ambitions that I know of in the mix.

Will you never run out of excuses for comparatively weak academics in the high SES DC immersion charter universe? [/quote]
