[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't students who aren't pursuing the IB diploma take IB classes? And who is doing this stigmatizing that some people refer to?[/quote] Many, many kids do take IB a la carte. The top 10% of the class or so will go for the full diploma, which is prestigious. But nobody stigmatizes kids who only take some IB classes, anymore than kids are stigmatized for "only" taking 3-4 APs. And IB full diploma and IB a la carte are the same peer group sitting together in the same class. The only issue is that if you are not pursing the full IB diploma and it's available, your guidance counselor may not certify for colleges that you are taking the "most rigorous course load available.' -- IB parent[/quote]
