[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My children go to a small private IB school. The opinion piece only focuses narrowly on what an IB program does. I find the children at our school more level headed and confident than most. I know a 12 yr old in his own small jazz band that performs publically. I could have never done that! Children organizing on their own - not mom & dad prompting them. What I see most vie in is critical thinking - not memorization. As far as studies, yes, it's worth the money . http://blogs.ibo.org/blog/2013/11/20/ib-diploma-programme-research-shows-extended-essay-improves-student-approach-to-learning-in-higher-education/[/quote] Not very persuasive. Students can gain writing experience similar to an extended essay without an IB program, and relatively few students at local IB schools do it in any event. Yet we end up paying for the full-fledged and under-utilized IB infrastructure. [/quote]
