[quote=Anonymous]OP HERE, thanks so much for the parents who have shared their experiences with the IB/PYP model. As several people have pointed out, I am less concerned about any language acquisition aspect but more about everything else -- skills as well as knowledge, and I suppose it's really the knowledge piece of it, and whether the "unit of inquiry" model is really rigorous enough to allow in depth understanding/mastery of the traditional subjects. I mean, diagramming sentences was kind of a pain and yet I think it was really important. I worry that in the rush to embrace this cool, nontraditional model, our kids might not be getting the kind of preparation they need to succeed. [/quote]
