[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No one is transferring to AP schools because they "can't handle" IB,[/b] unless you mean they didn't want to do the full IB diploma program. In that case they'd be in good company with the vast majority of students at the IB schools who don't transfer. By far the largest cohorts of high achieving kids in FCPS are at the AP schools.[/quote] Actually, in the example I mentioned these were the mom's own words. her child couldn't handle all the writing in the IB classes she was taking (she was never signed up for the full diploma. apparently the girl had an difficult time doing the essays and the revisions in her IB classes and as a result her mom felt she was struggling to master basic concepts in the subject. sorry, I know we like to pretend that every student can do everything, but in this case it simply wasn't true and the grades reflected that. the girl transferred to an AP school and did much better.
