[quote=Anonymous]wrt 11:50 there were 2 juniors taking IB Math HL last year at Marshall and 2 the year before that. It is a challenging course. I like the comment from the math teacher about being well grounded in the fundamentals to proceed to college level math studies. Our graduate completed IB Math HL2 and tested at level 7 but was also required to complete placement tests (proctored - 3 hrs!) for assessing her placement in math at college (a HPYS). There is clearly a concern with ensuring that fundamentals are mastered before proceeding on with math studies. Math is the one discipline where AP and IB differ most substantially. If advanced Math is a real focus then this should be investigated carefully and TJ should be included in that assessment. But in my experience this is a concern for only the top 0.1% of students.[/quote]
