[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes, I know AP is open to all. This is why, had IB been selective, would had looked into pupil placement and driven DC instead of DC walking to OHS. Now that I know IB isn't like IB in other states I don't think we will further consider IB.[/quote]

It's still the exact same program that is offered in other states or schools where it is "selective."  And it is "self-selective" in the sense that every kid who goes into the IB program has bought into the marketing that it's elite and advanced (i.e. they are the best students in the school whether some committee picked them or not).

I think your reasoning is kind of off, OP.  [/quote]

And also comparing IB & AP to what other states allow doesn't matter.  There are other states that don't open AP to all students. Many states/school districts have rules for who can take AP or IB. You are in FCPS, you deal with FCPS rules. It's like when you leave for college and meet a kid who got straight As. At their school an A was 90 and up![/quote]
