[quote=Anonymous]22:35 You are right actual lived experiences matter a lot.  My experience at Thomson was awful and I felt my kid came out educationally in science and in language arts for the worse.

I know those who have kids at WIS and love it and friends at College Gardens that are fine with it, but they don't have comparisons to upper grades because their kids are 4th grade and younger.

The question is how much is  high SES making a difference here and how much is IB.  I found that IB in a system where many kids were struggling with the basics to be a disaster because higher order thinking requires you know how to read and write and have numeracy skills.  But that said I would not move to another IB program in a wealthy area. I found that I did not believe in its idea that soft skills like presentation and teamwork matter more than actual content knowledge.  I just personally think that kids need to work toward knowing more and working harder and nothing I see from IB shows me that it is the direction it pushes schools.  [/quote]
