[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen the comment before that BCC’s IB is a waste of time and I disagree. That said what gives me pause is you saying your kid is science focused. I am not sure IB is great for science because the higher level classes are 2 years and the whole “depth vs breadth” thing (to the extentyou think IB is successful at that) seems to fit better for humanities. [/quote] I am not a supporter of IB, but your reasoning on science is flawed. Kids in high school need to learn science skills and basic science background. If they study one branch of science more deeply, that is OK (given that you've taken the Intro level for at least two other sciences). Whatever their high school courses, they are not ready to skip any science that will be in their major.[/quote]
