[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are zoned for an IB school. Although we now understand IB more than before we still wish we looked at houses within a non-IB high school instead. I have a child who is not well rounded but super talented in math and science but weak in writing. IB diploma is not fair for kids like my daughter and others like her. They will do so much better at an AP school where they can focus on subjects they are enthusiastic. IB is the same BS as the holistic review in AAP or TJ essay writing or whatever FCPS calls it. [/quote] I think a common misconception is that you cannot take IB courses in areas of strength only. My middle child just graduated last year and had an IEP for autism and ADHD. She took IB in Japanese and Literature, but took team-taught or General Ed in subjects she was weaker in. My youngest is graduating this year, and is taking a mix of IB and dual enrollment because she wanted to have more flexibility than doing full IB allowed due to her college aspirations.  [/quote]
