[quote=Anonymous]I am a high schooler teacher at an IB school. I would not pressure her to earn an IB diploma. It’s restrictive with what they take and can limit her choices of electives. Neither of my kids will get one. Being an IB diploma candidate might be helpful if she wants to apply to the most selective colleges with the lowest admission rates. My kids won’t be doing that so it doesn’t matter. They take advanced classes in courses where they are interested in and do not feel they have to keep taking courses where they have weaknesses. For example, one of mine would never want to take 5 years of a foreign language in order just to fulfill the IB diploma requirement. They don’t find out if they actually get the diploma until after graduation anyway. Have her take the IB classes she wants to take. Don’t worry about the full diploma. [/quote]
