[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I firmly believe that both AP and IB can prepare a motivated student for college, if the teachers are good. Quality of the teacher trumps curriculum differences. A teacher like the PP, with a chip on her shoulder can do a lot of damage no matter which program they are teaching.[/quote]

So basically, I am a poor quality teacher "with a chip on my shoulder" because I have asserted that, based on my experience teaching both programs, AP English is much better than IB English?  And--let me make sure that I understand correctly--I "can do a lot of damage", and you know this because I...prefer AP to IB, and I tell parents this?

I teach both AP and IB.  I have no emotional attachment to either, and no ulterior motive for asserting that AP English is much more rigorous/beneficial to top college-bound students.  IB isn't a bad program, but it isn't the best, and I directed my own child to do AP.

My IB and AP students achieve consistently excellent scores on their respective assessments, so whatever damage I am doing must not be so great...
