[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They placed IB at the poorer schools to try to attract higher SES students so they could being up test scores overall at the schools. It didn’t work. IB is very LA based so a lot of the math/STEM kids don’t want it.[/quote] We were at an IB school for a while and the phrase we heard frequently was "too much busy work."[/quote] Right... So first the critics blame FCPS for not focusing enough on writing and literacy. IB comes along and provides the opportunity for kids to write extensively in multiple subjects and now it's deemed "busy work" especially in the case of math and science. Just goes to show the ignorance of most people who have no idea what STEM careers really are like and that it's just an echo chamber for AP boosters.[/quote]
