[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 16:40 and I too am interested in hearing why 15:31/16:11 chose RM over Einstein given her little finger wagging in 16:11.

[b]But I have to say, IB is not be definition harder than doing 9-10 APs at Whitman or Churchill.[/b] There have been other threads on this. For one thing, kids take AP tests starting sophomore year, which is more pressure than tge IB test at the end of senior year when all the college decisions have been made.

But most of all, I'm curious why 15:31 is throwing flames on a thread I hoped had died, that deserves to die![/quote]

I have to disagree, PP.  How much do you know about IB?  It's very rigorous.  Most 9th and 10th graders who take AP classes do it b/c they're "encouraged" to sign up.  Most scores are abysmal, as they just don't have the abstract skills to be able to handle that level of critical thinking.  (not all, as there are always exceptions)

IB is a two-year program that begins in grade 11. It very much like earning a liberal arts degree.

very different philosophies

So please don't make assumptions based on what you've heard.  I'd suggest you talk to students in the program and to teachers trained in IB before you make false statements.[/quote]
