[quote=Anonymous][quote] Honestly, I hope FCPS pulls AP out of ALL of their schools and replaces it with IB just so the PP could have a coronary [/quote] First, there are at least two people responding to your comments. Second, please read again what you wrote: [quote]That is yet another advantage of IB. The colleges only know who the candidates are, as opposed to the actual recipients. Since the points aren't tallied and diplomas aren't awarded until July, [b]if you bomb an exam or fall a few points short of completing the diploma, it's irrelevant. Your college acceptance is already secure.[/b] And colleges just don't rescind over things that trivial. The GPA would be largely unaffected. [/quote] This is really not a very good defense of IB. No one here has said get rid of it in all schools--but it is clearly not delivering in some of the schools. The students would be better served by AP. The taxpayers would also be better served. Don't you understand that? [/quote]
