[quote=Anonymous]Robinson is starting its middle school IB program officially with its incoming 7 th graders from AAP programs in the fall.  We have one DC already in IB there now and one that will start the IBMYP in the fall.  IM not completely sold on the whole IB thing.  its a TON of work/projects and its very stressful, especially for a kid that expects/strives for straight A's (like our older one).  But in this area, for your kid to be competitve at college application time, the kids really need to do the most rigorous academic program offered at your high school...  for us, that is IB.  lake braddock (ugh) is our closest alternative for AP and kid had no interest in TJ because of the environment there right now.  that being said, the IBMYP sounds good, but it is definately not necessary if your kid is self motivated.  Let your kid be a kid for a little bit longer, and take a few electives that are fun in middle school.  We are encouraging our rising middle school to consider this option.[/quote]
