[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is one poster who is not familiar with RMIB and usually rants here about drugs and pressure cooker environment and what not.

Obviously, her kids did not get into the program.  I am fairly sure that the kids of someone she knew got into the program - and this person was smarter, richer, prettier, more accomplished than the RMIB hater.

Seriously, her ignorance of the program and her hatred for RMIB is not normal. It is a personal vendetta.  Normal and mentally stable people who do not have kids in RMIB or any other association with it, usually do not care about reading RMIB threads. [/quote]-

Agreed - all the posts about pushy parents and pill-popping kids are malicious.  [b]However, there have been numerous posts over the years about the large workload (hours of homework) and high stress level at RMIB in particular so it is important to be honest about that especially during a time when families are trying to use this forum to make a decision about whether or not to attend the program.  [/b]Hopefully it is possible to do that without ascribing bad motives to parents who choose to send their kids there or saying hateful things about the kids. [/quote]

I've been following this and other IB threads and I do believe that message has been consistent and correctly stated.  I have not seen any posts from current parents or past students who stated otherwise. IB program is tough (and at times it can even get brutal) but it is incredibly rewarding programs. All these factors go hand-in-hand. If your kid is smart but doesn't study hard (and if  you don't think that will change), IB is not for your kid, IMHO.
