[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our IB number is dropping rapidly.  My kid is getting excited about the classes and friends at Yorktown since we had to turn in the course request.  I'm wondering if it's worth it to switch if we get a spot.  My kid has a good work ethic, loves to write and will be in all intensified classes (where offered).  My kid also has a busy schedule and I'm worried about burn out.  Is it really a lot more work that AP?[/quote]

I have one did who did IB and one who did a STEM-heavy AP plus some IB classes and I'd say full IB more work, but either is a LOT of work. If your kid is excited about going to Yorktown, I'd think that would be helpful to prevent burnout. I wouldn't push a kid who wants to stay at their neighborhood school to go to another program -- it's hard enough if they're where they want to be. And I don't know of kids whose parents made them who had a good experience.

(That said, if your kid can get as excited about IB, it really is a great program)[/quote]
