[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because IB haters -- and those who fear the program because they don't get it and think it is somehow anti-American -- abound and will use any excuse to attack it. All I know is that admissions officers at elite colleges have been very impressed that my son is doing an IB diploma, as we have. I'm constantly amazed that folks around here who claim to be happy with their kids doing AP feel such a need to tear IB down. Can only assume they fear IB kids are getting something there's aren't. [/quote] Given how few students at local IB schools get IB diplomas, you should be more amazed at why parents at those schools don't see the value. The AP kids do just fine. One of the benefits of living in a free society is that we get to express our views on how our tax dollars are spent. Many around here think money is being wasted on IB programs that could be spent for other, more deserving purposes, such as hiring more teachers. [/quote]
