[quote=Anonymous]My son graduated from an IB school. He did not do the full diploma, because he just isn't that kind of ultra motivated, knowledge hungry kind of student across the board. Neither of us thought he needed to jump through all the extra hoops for the diploma, and we were both thankful he did not have to juggle the EE deadlines during the fall of his senior year, which was hectic enough. He did take all IB classes, a mix of HL and SL. HL courses are two years, which limits the variety of coursework you can take. For him, SL worked out well in providing both the depth of exploration and flexibility to try new topics. I do think the IB courses include a much more personal touch than many others offered at his school. I don't think they do as much "teaching to the test," as AP courses do. [/quote]
