[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last year my kid studied and got a 2. I think that had something to do with the truncated online school year... And also with their lack of interest in the subject, but from their perspective, they worked hard and didn't do we.

So this year I am hands off. I'm not even sure they're going to take the tests. Im more concerned that they learn something in the classes than pick the right circles...

The IB tests next year, however, they're another story. [/quote]

So the AP test is unimportant, but IB tests are important???[/quote]

Yes. The [b]IB requires critical thinking[/b]. Also, kid has EU citizenship so the IB might actually be useful.

Any other questions?

It's so odd here, it's like you all are terrified to admit that sometimes your kids might fail. Sometimes they might not excel or be the best. Sometimes they might try and fail.

Hell of a way to live, but it probably explains the eating disorders [/quote]

Sorry, I'm a high school teacher, and I would love to have you sit for a practice AP exam in one of my classes.  [/quote]

You're a high school teacher who doesn't think there's value in failure? Let me guess, W school? [b] IB husband [/b] who pays for you?

AND i'd love to sit for an AP. My old high school was ranked ten in the country this year. The entire country, not your county. I mean, I've forgotten a lot of the material since I took them in the nineties, but it would be a terrific academic exercise for me... And it might give you a chance to pick at your nail polish and stare out the window. Like you do everyday. [/quote]

OK, I know what an IB diploma is, but what the heck is an “IB husband“?[/quote]
