[quote=Anonymous]There were some disappointments... turns out that teenagers don't magically mature at HS graduation. So there were some social hiccups and stupid backstabbing/ gossiping/ exclusionary games; but my kid found a good little group toward the end of the first semester. In the same vein, they were shocked by how badly some kids behave in the dorm... smoking weed in the stairwell, running down the hall screaming and banging on the walls/ doors in the middle of the night, pulling the fire alarm. Academics were a massive, happy surprise. My kid went to an IB high school, and is breezing through a pretty selective college. Made dean's list both semesters, despite having struggled in HS. And truly enjoyed their classes. Hooray for IB and the foundation it provided for the type of work/ thinking college entails. They're super excited to go back! [/quote]
