[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Okay, so this thread is officially a lost cause, and has gone from having some interesting information on the substance of IB a to becoming a way for the FCPS a crazies to bash IB as implemented in FCPS (and it's not like anyone is saying FCPS a implemented IB a well, so I'm not sure what their arging about..)

So for everyone so unhappy with FCPS IB that they can't contain themselves to the VA public schools thread and have to cross post and throw a temper tantrum in the middle of every IB discussion, I'd really like to know: do you have any first hand experience with IB? Did you have DCs go through it? Or even go to an IB a night and find out what IB is about? This is a s/o-- you don't need to rehash the same tired argument in 2 places. [/quote]

So, it is crazy to post criticism of IB?  Why don't you tell us why IB prepares kids better for college than AP.  I know that neither of my kids' roommates felt they were better prepared.  
There is an IB supporter on here that assumes that IB prepares kids much better than AP.  She keeps throwing out the writing element.  I guess if a child takes no AP English or History classes, that it is possible.  However, AP English and History are writing intensive.  [/quote]

+1000.  The crazies here are the people who keep claiming IB is great and that people would understand if only they went to an "IB night," all without providing any specifics about what IB supposedly does well.   Talk about a tired - or at least shallow - argument! [/quote]
