Should High Schools require students to take an AP or IB class?

Interesting @VickiSoCal. D’s school offers “Lit HL” and “Lang and Lit HL” No SL or AP Lang or Lit class is offered. My understanding is that the two other IB programs in town ONLY offer “Lang and Lit HL” (following the IB curriculum, not the AP curriculum) and both require every student at the school to take it as a junior. Maybe some of those students do take the AP Lang or AP Lit exams? I’ll have to ask around. I didn’t know that the IB and AP curricula were close enough to combine in that way. (D16’s IB Lit class seemed significantly different than S12’s AP Lit class.)
