[quote=Anonymous]Not at all. Those students who choose AP and IB courses can choose exactly how heavy a load to carry. Those kids who don't carry as heavy a load aren't looked down upon. There is very little to no competition among peers about grades. If anything, IME, the administration (teachers and counselors) discourage kids from taking a lot of APs, especially in 9th and 10th grade, and even (sadly IMO) for those students who want and are capable of doing more. We deliberately avoided the RM IB program in favor of BCC specifically to avoid the more labor and time intensive and competitive environment we perceived RMIB to be. DC is glad to have time for other activities like sports even though DC also has an advanced course load. [/quote]
