[quote=Anonymous]One of my kids has started on extended essay. Had to consult with assigned advisor several times. In a school with too much meh teaching, the feedback from this advisor was intelligent and Invigorating. I have no doubt the process for full diploma will continue to be stressful, but I think learning to manage the extended essay along with the daily IB work may be one of the most useful things gained from a less-than-stellar HS. Both, the satisfaction of accomplishment, the knowing you can handle large, long term independent projects and the ability to have some choices in what the research in-depth. Same kid's math paper will be totally different field than extended essay, but topics were student' choice.[/quote]
