[quote=Anonymous]Actually, I am curious as to what reasons are provided for striving towards the completion of an IB diploma when one has already been accepted to a college or university. Is it simply to complete a goal, once undertaken? Is it a notion of "paying it forward," based on an argument that the hard work of prior students who completed their diplomas paved the way for their own acceptance from colleges or universities that were familiar with RM's track record with IB? Presumably the schools do not make their offers of admission contingent on the students successfully earning an IB diploma, and you might think the students do deserve some down time in their senior year. You can't read anything about the IB program at RM without coming away with the sense that it's mostly PARENTS of IB diploma candidates and recipients who are most heavily invested in the reputation of the IB program there and the fiefdom of the IB coordinator.
