[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] You are wrong. Teachers can grade and give feedbacknonnpapers without kids being in IB. Your assertions are bizarre. [/quote] DP. The problem is teachers CAN give feedback but they are overworked and have too many kids so often the feedback is lacking or insufficient simply because their workload is too heavy. We are looking at IB for next year and this has been our middle school experience. Real essay writing has been minimal, and teacher feedback even more minimal. Even math teachers are giving kids the answer keys and only grading on whether homework is turned in. They don't review and correct work themselves. This is not a dig at teachers. It's the situation APS finds it in. In theory, the writing-intensive aspect of IB therefore makes it more likely that a run of the mill student is going to get more and better opportunities to write and feedback to improve that writing.
