[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IB program at Einstein was a disaster for my kid. His English and History classes leading up to it didn't have hardly any writing, so he was not prepared for the level of writing required by the IB classes. And his college did not give him any credit for his IB scores (5 to 7). I wish we had gone all AP.[/quote]

Writing at Einstein is a huge disappointment.  They read 2-3 books a year and only write short paragraph responses.  No long papers.[/quote]

In IB English? Not sure how that’s possible, if they’re following the IB curriculum.

The HL IB curriculum (which Einstein makes all diploma candidates take) requires about a dozen novels over the a years, a bunch of poetry and some short stories, as well as a long paper for the IA. My kid’s teacher has had them—from the start—writing increasingly longer essays in preparation for the IA.

Honors English.  We are on our second book of the year. [/quote]

So you’re basically making the argument for IB, then. [/quote]
