[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I care enough to compensate for the general decline in my kids education. This will result in a larger gap between them and their peers who relied on public education alone. Many folks were doing this anyway. The gap is just going to grow larger.[/quote]
How do you compensate? I feel like the biggest gap is writing. [/quote]

You don’t learn how to write until grad school. [/quote]
I learned to write well in at a Catholic HS which isn’t an option for my kids.  Does IB help kids learn how to write?[/quote]
IB is your best option. If you care about APs and UVA admissions, some might disagree, but if you want a well rounded education, IB is the closest thing.[/quote]

+1. This board is obsessed with improving literacy. But when presented with a rigorous program like IB that requires heavy amounts of reading and writing, they withdraw their enthusiasm for literacy in favor of AP classes that allegedly are less time-consuming. So do they actually want their kids to put the hard work into reading and writing or not?[/quote]
