[quote=Anonymous]Smart post, PP.  As somebody who earned the IB Diploma, has taught in IB World international schools and sent my kids to a DCI feeder, I've been baffled by how little most fellow feeder/DCI parents seem to know or care about the IB curriculum, essentially a GT program created to serve the university-bound children of European diplomats. I taught high school students in international schools abroad who came from privileged backgrounds, weren't SpEd and were fairly diligent yet ultimately failed to earn enough IB points to qualify for a Diploma.

What seems to happen in the feeders and at DCI is that admins convince gullible parents without IB background that IB World Schools don't track academically in core subjects as a matter of policy, other than perhaps for math. False. One big international school I taught at in Asia offers honors middle school classes in English, science and social students although there aren't underprivileged students in the school who aren't on academic merit scholarships.
