[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I doubt they would be if they were not IB students. The diploma programme curriculum encourages writing, and their teachers really helped them improve their writing skills. [/quote] Agree, IB creates strong writers. Even in IB math classes, students are expected to write! But for OP this isn't a lot of help since OP's child is clearly HS age and in AP. To the OP, I'd recommend more writing. Reading more is key, yes, but writing is a muscle--you have to exercise it to strengthen it. Since kids generally won't take too well to parents requiring extra writing practice, I'd see if there is writing help available at school. My DC was part of her HS English department's peer tutoring program where students who were good writers worked with students who wanted to practice more. Anything like that at your kid's school?[/quote]
