[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IB was a lot harder than college was for my kid. They could write a college paper half asleep and the professor lauded over the quality of writing and analysis. [/quote] You often hear the argument that IB kids thought college was much easier than high school, as if it’s a positive. To me it means those kids did poorly for college admissions and ended up at less rigorous majors or universities. High school shouldn’t and isn’t easier than college, because the curriculum is much harder and professors are more demanding. I’d believe it if the posters named the high school and major/college they got into, but somehow they never do.[/quote] My kid was in the IB program before switching to TJHSST and he rarely (never?) writes at the quality and level he was in his middle school. Which is disappointing because most STEM majors have to be very proficient in writing beyond test taking. [/quote]
