Who are these mythological zealots? I see mostly people describing their own experiences with IB, and laying out the pros and cons as they’ve experienced them.</p>
<p>To paraphrase Groucho, who are we going to believe, you or our own eyes?</p>
<p>I’m also perplexed by this idea that IB is remedial, and that it’s chosen by bad schools, etc. All I can say is that if IB is remedial, then the typical US public school education is sub-remedial. I think IB and AP are roughly equivalent in quality when well presented, so maybe AP is remedial, too.</p>
<p>I do wonder why the top colleges are taking so many public school grads these days.</p>
