[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB is better than AP. [/quote]

None of the top high schools in FCPS has or wants IB.  The turning point was when FCPS tried to replace AP with IB at Woodson High and parents objected.  [/quote]

My niece did IB (not in FCPS) and on her college visits, she got a very positive reception for it.  [b]The colleges acknowledged that it is harder than AP and required more of a commitment.  They seemed to have a lot of respect for the students who complete the whole diploma program.[/[/b]quote]

My son had the same experience with colleges impressed by the rigor and the amount of critical thinking and writing the students have done.  Not to mention his transition to college work was a breeze.   People should take care before they dismiss a program they don't understand.  I know students who have gotten top scores on AP tests for courses they haven't taken and simply studied a prep-book for.  That could never happen in IB.   Much more to it than passing a multiple choice test.  [/quote]
