[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they think there are no assessments in AP classes?  [/quote]

Yes.

No assessments, no writing, no critical thinking, only a narrow viewpoint.

:roll:

The anti AP/pro IB posts are kinda funny

I suspect you are responding to me. I *clearly defined* what I meant by assessment: the tests that determine whether students get college credit for a course. In AP, that is *ONE* assessment at the end of the year. Would you like to challenge me on that?

Of *COURSE* AP students take tests throughout the year. IB students do, as well. But they are also assessed for/by IB throughout the year. There's the difference I clearly defined above.

Look: I'm well-versed in both AP and IB as I have direct experience with both, as a teacher AND as a parent.

I'm not anti-AP. (It's silly to be against any program that has benefits to our students. You know... like AP as well as IB.) Have your AP. It works for you and that's great. But I'm going to defend IB as I prefer it. [/quote]
