[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know this without an in-depth knowledge of the IB and AP curricula?  Really, how do you know?  As a teacher, I'm certain you don't understand exactly how IB and AP work.  The marketing talks and propaganda are very powerful, though.  [/quote]
You assume that all parents are illiterate and unable to do their own research. You must teach at an inner city school or Appalachia.[/quote]

No, I teach at an International School in Europe (the environment in which the IB was born).

I don't assume that parents are "illiterate" or "unable to do their own research"; I know that it took intense training and experience for me to understand how to teach IB and AP, and I don't think many parents are paying to do a course in IB or AP curriculum.  I'm just offering my opinion, based on my experience teaching IB and AP, and my observations of students in both of these programs over the years.  Our school has a parent-teacher IB/AP Info Night every year, and I'm frustrated at how many parents become angry when I suggest that AP might be the best fit for their child, or that IB might not be the magical unicorn they believe it to be.
