[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The writing that is required in IB prepares the students for college much better than AP, which rally is nothing mOre than being able to pass the test. In the end, the question is not about whether AP or IB are "accepted'" but whether they prepare the student. I bet we cou,d get rid of both programs, institute a generally rigorous program and prepare students just as well, oh... And bring back shop. [/quote] If that were the case, you'd see IB in the higher-ranked, more affluent schools where more students are headed off to college and more interested in acquiring skills than credits. Instead, none of the six high schools in FCPS with the highest SAT scores (TJ, Langley, McLean, Oakton, Woodson, Madison) has IB. Either way, it doesn't add up. Either IB is in the wrong schools in FCPS or it's no better (and perhaps worse) in terms of preparing kids for college. [/quote]
