[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate how AP leads to teaching to the test. That high schools and teachers brag about their kids' scores (so it becomes self-serving, rather than student-centered). Also, kids lose a month of education if the schools requires no real content/teaching after the AP test. I wish the whole system would go away.[/quote] The IB system is so much better. Every course and exam is based on discussion and analysis of information rather than just memorization. Tests are essays, and sometimes open note or open book because the goal is not to memorize definitions, names, dates, or even scientific processes, but to be able to apply and compare what you’ve learned. [/quote] This trope is so fake. AP courses my kids are taking are not memorization. It is no different from the way you describe IB.[/quote]
