[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure how I would get a sense of the "average IB student."

But my own IB student has had a smattering of marking period Bs, but they have all averaged to an A for the semester total.  He has taken 5 AP exams by junior year.  Two friends dropped out of the program during or after freshman year, and I know at least one friend who was really struggling in math/science and likely ended up with a C in at least one of them.

If I had to guess, I would assume that any student earning majority B/Cs drops from the program to earn higher grades in non-IB.  That is likely why you hear so much about straight A students.  But there is a mix. [/quote]

That's a problem in the way you measure expectations for your child.

If something is difficult the answer isn't to take something easier. The answer is twofold: one, to work harder--and two, to learn how not to be perfect. My RMIB student has gotten C's. Obviously, with the pressure cooker extremists around them, they'd never admit this, but it shouldn't be their issue. We all have different things we're good at.

But this is just another thread where people can brag about their straight-A perfectly-adjusted kids , and do lest anyone consider them or their children lesser in any way. It is, yes, just like all those annoying Blair threads. [/quote]
