[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB means that the school gets evaluated by educators who don't give a crap about american politics or arne duncan. This in turn means that the IB schools avoid being quite so insular, or teaching strictly to the state tests in whatever state they happen to be in. [/quote] That's a non sequitur. IB schools here tend to be the public schools with the most low income and ESOL kids, so they devote the most energy to teaching to the SOLs and other state tests in order to avoid the wrath of the Arne Duncans of the world. It might be different at a private. [/quote] Not my experience, and my kid attends one of those.[/quote]
