[quote=Anonymous][quote]There’s no tangible benefit to getting the IB diploma, literally nobody cares except for bragging rights.[/quote] The tangible benefit of IB is taking the classes, doing the work, and showing colleges that you got good grades in a rigorous curriculum. [quote]There’s no benefit in taking the IB specific classes like Theory of Knowledge, and CAS. Just take a real class and do real extracurriculars instead.[/quote] ToK is no more or less useless than any English or social studies class. DS found it engaging enough to talk to me about the various issues they discussed and assignments they completed. [quote]SL classes are not advanced coursework, they are just like regular or honors classes. The two year HL classes move too slow compared to the one year APs, and go in less depth.[/quote] No.[/quote]
