[quote=Anonymous]IB is a more rigorous, well rounded college prep program. But it is a full program and kids who are excel in some areas but not others are going to have problems getting the full diploma. (And their parents, who apparently can't admit that their DC can't handle a portion of the IB program, end up really hostile towards IB). AP may well be better for STEM kids, if those kids can't write and apply concepts across disciplines. It's more forgiving of humanities kids who can dumb down the math with "math studies" and biology SL -- a parent of an IB all around good student and a AP STEM kid who hates writing. I'm glad they got to choose the program that was right for them. I prefer the IB approach for college prep, but think it's a bad fit for DC 2. [/quote]
