[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is heavily invested in IB, since there are several regional programs (Kennedy, Springbrook, Watkins Mill) along with the school-specific programs (Einstein, B-CC, Rockville, Seneca Valley) and of course the creme de la creme, the IB magnet program (Richard Montgomery).

I hear from some parents and students that they don't think IB is worth it cause it's hard. But I'd love to hear success stories from parents and students who did it and found it valuable and found success post-high school.

So can anyone whose kids graduated from the IB Diploma Program share their success stories?

I'm sure the magnet kids have many of these, but I'd love to hear the experience of non-magnet families primarily, but I'll take what I can get.[/quote]

I have an IB  It's worth it because it's hard. The first year of college was much easier for me than for my colleagues. I literally recall fellow freshmen complaining about how much work they had to do compared to their easy senior years. Not so for an IBer. Senior year was about buckling down for the tests and finishing the extended essay. Those first set of college papers were a lot easier to write after the extended essay.

And then much later in life I have a job that entails international work. IB just makes me love it more, which I suppose is part of making me good at it.[/quote]
